BOW # 1295
WATER SOLUBLE SOLDER PASTE
Description :
MICROTEK WS 1295 is a new class of water washable formulations. This water-soluble version uses an innovative polymer activator. This activator system, coupled with a highly stable, clean rinsing binder, provides the excellent activity, working life, and cleaning needed for today’s demanding applications.

Scope :
This specification covers the solder paste Microtek WS 1295; 89.5-90% for stencil printing and 86-87% for dispensing in interconnection of surface mount devices.

Performance and Standard :
Stencil Life 8-12 hours under proper process parameters
Tack Time 12-18 hours before or after placing components
Solder Alloys Sn63/Pb37; Sn62/Pb36/Ag2; Sn96.5/Ag3.5; Sn10/Pb88/Ag2; Sn95/Sb5; Sn43/Pb43/Bi14
