Features
GLOW CORE is a no-clean, resin-based flux cored wire solder designed to offer excellent wetting characteristics and lead-free compatibility. This product is very active and is recommended for fast cycle time soldering. GLOW CORE flux promotes good thermal transfer, offering better solder penetration into plated through holes or surface mount interconnections. GLOW CORE cored wire produces low-to-medium post-process residues that are electrically safe and do not require cleaning for most applications. GLOW CORE is operator-friendly and can be a drop-in for any no-clean or RMA type applications.
Handling:
· GLOW CORE cored wire has a shelf life of 3 years when proper storage conditions are observed.
· Store GLOW CORE in a clean, dry area away from moisture and sunlight. Do not freeze this product
Application:
· Solder iron tip temperature should be between 700° - 800°F (370° - 425°C) for Sn/Ag and Sn/Ag/Cu (LF218, CASTIN, TSC-4, etc.) alloys.
· Hold the solder iron tip at a 45° to 60° angle to the work surface.
· The solder iron should contact both the component lead and PCB pad surface.
· Solder and flux should flow onto the lead and pad or lead and barrel to promote optimum flux activity for the joint being worked.
· If additional flux is needed, the use of AIM flux dispensing pens is recommended for dispensing precise amounts of flux to eliminate over-saturation.
Cleaning:
GLOW CORE can be cleaned with saponified tap water or an alcohol and water blend. AIMTERGE 520 or ChemTools PCB Wash is recommended. A water temperature of 140°F is recommended, and should be adequate for removing any postprocess residues.
