(Tin) Solder wires

MBO offers a wide range of solder wires, suitable for electronic and industrial soldering.

The MBO solder wires are available in lead-free alloys in accordance with European directives. The solder wires wires can be either in solid form (alloy only) or with incorporated flux (alloy + flux). Our solder wire range is available in diameters from 0.2mm to 6mm

General note: After extensive in-house resin flux performance validation testing, MBO has decided to increase the shelf life for this family of solder wires from one year to two years. This new value is valid for flux classifications starting with RO in J-STD 004.

Applications :
Soft soldering on printed circuits, soldering of any type of component
Soldering of power components, of electromechanical parts
Connectors soldering
High and low melting point solders are also available to support your specific process
RoHS lead free solders

1. Solder wire with ROB flux :

ROB flux has been developed for automated applications (eg robot) and demanding applications in terms of temperatures. Indeed, the residues remain clear even at temperatures of 400 °C. Above 420 °C, the residues stain a little but remain comparable to the flux residues of the « classical » fluxes which offer the same type of coloration but at 360 ° C. In contrast, activation is effective at temperatures above 360 °C. This solder wire is only produced with lead-free alloys. It can also be used in manual soldering. Its ROL1 classification and No Clean character also gives it advantages as soldering performance is equivalent to ROM1 classification (much more activated).

2. Solder wire with RZ flux :

RZ flux has been developed for use in capacitors. Indeed, this solder wire with a resinous base offers very good performances in terms of wettability on zinc. This wire is only produced with lead-free alloys. It can also be used with all conventional soldering processes (irons, torch, induction, hot plate, hot air, etc.). Its ROL0 classification (halogen-free) and its No Clean character also give it advantages because the soldering performance is equivalent to HC3 flux wich is much more activated (INH1 classification).

3. Solder wire with ALU/ALU+ flux :

Solder wire with ALU/ ALU PLUS flux : MBO “ALU” and « ALU PLUS » solder wires confer good soldering on aluminium. Their classification is ORH1 according to J-STD 004. MBO “ALU” and « ALU PLUS » solder wires can be used in conjunction with various methods of soldering, such as soldering iron, hot air, induction, hot plate etc. When used with a soldering iron, it is recommended to use an operating temperature between 360°C and 400°C for standard operations. Elevated temperatures can be used but a coloration of the flux residues will result.The « ALU PLUS » flux is designed for soldering of aluminium series 5000 and 3000 (Magnesium and Manganese).
