Plusivo Solder Wire (1mm, 50g) and Rosin Paste Flux for PCB Electrical Soldering

Plusivo Solder Wire (1mm, 50g)

Description: Plusivo Solder Wire is designed for general-purpose soldering in electronics and electrical applications.

Key Features:

• Diameter: 1mm
• Weight: 50g
• Composition: Typically an alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb), with a common ratio being 60/40 (60% tin and 40% lead), though lead-free versions may be available.
• Flux Core: Contains a rosin flux core which helps in the cleaning and preparation of metal surfaces for soldering.
• Melting Point: Approximately 183°C for 60/40 solder wire.
• Application: Suitable for soldering components on printed circuit boards (PCBs), wires, and other electrical connections.

Advantages:

• Good Flow: Ensures smooth and reliable solder joints.
• Rosin Flux Core: Facilitates soldering by cleaning and preventing oxidation during the soldering process.
• Convenient Size: The 1mm diameter is versatile, making it suitable for various types of soldering tasks, including through-hole and some surface mount components.

Usage Tips:

• Proper Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
• Temperature Control: Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron to prevent overheating and ensure good quality solder joints.
• Cleaning: Clean the soldering iron tip regularly to maintain efficient heat transfer.

Plusivo Rosin Paste Flux

Description: Rosin Paste Flux from Plusivo is used to improve the quality and reliability of solder joints by cleaning and preparing metal surfaces.

Key Features:

• Type: Rosin-based flux
• Form: Paste
• Application: Ideal for PCB and electrical soldering.

Advantages:

• Improves Solder Flow: Enhances the wetting and flow of solder, ensuring strong and reliable joints.
• Cleans Surfaces: Removes oxides and impurities from the metal surfaces, promoting better solder adhesion.
• Residue: Leaves minimal residue which is usually non-corrosive and non-conductive, though cleaning is recommended for high-reliability circuits.

Usage Tips:

• Application: Apply a small amount of paste flux to the joint area before soldering.
• Cleaning: Clean any residual flux from the board after soldering to prevent potential long-term corrosion or electrical leakage. Use isopropyl alcohol or a specialized flux cleaner for this purpose.
• Storage: Keep the flux container closed when not in use to prevent it from drying out.

General Soldering Tips:

• Preparation: Ensure all surfaces to be soldered are clean and free from oxidation.
• Heat Management: Apply the soldering iron to the joint first, then introduce the solder wire, allowing it to flow into the joint.
• Safety: Wear safety glasses and use fume extraction to protect against fumes and splashes.
