Dear all, has anyone out there had any experience with using Multicore RA10 solder cream - or equivalent - with HMP (296-301 deg. C) solder powder? I am currently carrying out some hand soldering trials on different types of connectors with excellent results. Does anyone know if are there any long-term quality problems using this compound in a Hi-Rel (Aerospace)industry? The make up of the RA10 compound is as follows: Cream - 2-5% modified rosin, 40-45% Rosin to IPC type MR3CN or MIL-F-14256 RA Solder - 5% Tin - 93.5% Lead - 1.5% Silver Carrying medium - 5-10% Propan-1,2-diol Any information would be appreciated.
