AIM SN100C WS482 3% Lead Free Water Soluble Core Wire Solder .062" Diameter

AIM SN100C WS482 3% Lead-Free Water Soluble Core Wire Solder in .062" diameter combines exceptional soldering performance with a user-friendly, cost-effective alloy. Designed for high-performance applications, this solder wire features the advanced WS482 water-soluble flux core, which is halide-free, highly active, and compatible with water-soluble solder paste chemistries, ensuring efficient soldering across a wide range of applications.

WS482 flux is known for its excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for processing with both standard and high-temperature alloys. The flux residues left behind are non-corrosive and may be left on assemblies for up to two to three days, provided conductivity is not a concern (such as in wire soldering applications). Post-soldering residues are readily soluble in hot water, making cleaning quick and easy. WS482 offers outstanding tarnish and oxide removal capabilities without causing any tarnishing to PCBs, copper, or solder joints, ensuring a clean, reliable finish every time.

SN100C, a lead-free, silver-free solder alloy developed by Nihon Superior, is recognized for its superior performance and user-friendly properties. The alloy features the inclusion of nickel, which reduces copper dissolution, resulting in bright, shiny solder fillets. The addition of germanium helps reduce dross formation and improves solder flow, making SN100C an ideal choice for hand soldering, providing performance comparable to SAC alloys at a significantly lower cost.

Key Features:

• Water Soluble Flux: The WS482 flux core is halide-free, highly active, and water-soluble, making cleaning easy and reducing environmental concerns.
• Thermal Stability: WS482 offers excellent thermal stability, allowing it to be used with both standard and high-temperature alloys.
• Non-Corrosive Residues: The flux residues are non-corrosive and safe for use on most assemblies for up to 2-3 days when conductivity is not a concern.
• Excellent Tarnish and Oxide Removal: Effectively removes tarnish and oxides without damaging PCBs, copper, or solder joints.
• Easily Soluble Residues: Post-solder residues dissolve quickly in hot water for easy cleaning.
• Bright, Shiny Solder Fillets: The nickel content in SN100C reduces copper dissolution, producing bright, high-quality solder joints.
• Reduced Dross Formation: The inclusion of germanium minimizes dross formation, enhancing solder flow and reducing waste.
• Cost-Effective Alternative: SN100C provides performance similar to SAC alloys but at a lower cost, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious applications.

Additional Features:

• Compatible with Water-Soluble Paste Chemistries: The WS482 flux core is designed for compatibility with water-soluble solder paste, enhancing overall assembly efficiency.
• Proven in Commercial Applications: SN100C has been a trusted choice for manufacturers since 1999, providing proven reliability and ease of use.

The AIM SN100C WS482 3% Lead-Free Water Soluble Core Wire Solder offers a superior solution for high-performance soldering with minimal cleanup. When you need a reliable, cost-effective soldering solution, this wire solder ensures excellent results every time.
