TYPICAL PROPERTIES Solder Wire - Cored Typical Properties Alloys - Tin/lead Alloys - Lead Free Acid Value Halide content Flux Content (%) * SN63 * SN60 * SN62 * 96SC (SAC387) * 97SC (SAC305) * 99C (SnCu) * 95A (SnSb) * 96S (SnAg) 164 to 176 mg KOH/g 1.1% 2.7 ALLOYS: The alloys used in C511TM cored solder wires conform to the purity requirements of the common national and international standards. FLUX: C511TM solid flux is based on modified rosin and carefully selected activators. In practice they exhibit a mild rosin odor and leave a small quantity of clear residue. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Soldering with C511TM does not require any special methods or deviation from standard hand soldering practices. Soldering Iron: Good results can be obtained using a range of tip temperatures. However, the optimum tip temperature and heat capacity required for a hand-soldering process is a function of both soldering iron design and the nature of the task. Care should be exercised to avoid unnecessarily high tip temperatures for extensive periods of time. A high tip temperature may increase any tendency to flux spitting and it may produce some residue darkening. The tip of the soldering iron should be properly tinned. Severely contaminated soldering iron tips should be cleaned with Multicore(R) Tip Tinner/Cleaner. Wipe the tip on a clean, damp sponge before re-tinning with C511TM wire. Soldering Process: 1. Apply the soldering iron tip to the work surface. The iron tip should contact both the base material and the lead at the same time to heat both surfaces properly. It should take no more than a fraction of a second to heat both surfaces adequately. 2. Apply C511TM flux cored wire to a part of the joint surface away from the soldering iron and allow to form a joint fillet. This will be virtually instantaneous. Do not apply excessive solder to the joint as this will not improve joint integrity and it will leave excess flux residues on the surface. 3. Remove solder from the work piece and then remove the iron tip. 4. The total process will be very rapid, depending upon thermal mass, tip temperature, tip configuration and the solderability of the surfaces to be joined. 5. The resin and flux systems are designed to leave relatively low residues and to minimize residual activity. This is achieved by ensuring some decomposition and volatilization takes place during the soldering process Cleaning: C511TM flux cored solder wire has been formulated to leave amber flux residues and resist spitting and fuming. In most industrial and consumer electronics applications, cleaning will not be required. The product may, therefore, be used to complement a no-clean wave soldering or reflow process or to allow repairs to cleaned boards without the need for a second cleaning process. In high-reliability applications, the residues should be removed. Should cleaning be required, this is best achieved using SC-01TM cleaner.
