Hello Mike, What is the flux in the AIM cored solder rolls? Bryon Boone CIT, Product Engineer III Carlisle Interconnect Technologies -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mike Laroe Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 1:06 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] HandSoldering Using NC Solders Currently my company has been using two different Alloys for handsoldering both Leaded and RoHs No-Clean Assy's. For the leaded requirement we are using AIM and for Rohs we are using Kester. We currently stock 4 different sizes of each (.015", .020", .025", .031").. My question and thought is to phase out the AIM and strictly only use the Kester for both Leaded and Rohs Assy's. All the Soldering is done with Metcals using the 700 & Pwr Tips. Are there any reasons I shouldn't do this? Thanks for your help in advance, Mike Laroe Mfg Engineer --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
