Producer of solder products Shenmao America has launched a halogen-free SM-862 Liquid Flux to replace its halogenated SM-816. The flux features low solid content and smooth flux residue, making it suitable for automatic wave soldering and manual dipping processes.
SM-862 is a rosin-containing flux designed to leave less residue and minimum bridges, the company said. “The halogen-free ROL0 (J-STD-004B), tack-free, no-clean flux is designed for use in a variety of automated and selective soldering applications. It shows good hole-fill ability and minimum bridges when soldering boards with high density components.
“SM-862 is ideal for wave soldering, selective soldering and dipping. Applicable products include mother boards, power boards, server boards, dipping components and more. The flux provides excellent solderability and flux residue after soldering with high voltage endurance.”
