WS482 WATER SOLUBLE CORED WIRE FEATURES Halide-Free, ORM0 High Activity Level Excellent Thermal Transfer and Wetting Compatible with all Leaded and Lead-Free Alloys Extended Cleaning Window Residues Easily Removed with DI Water DESCRIPTION WS482 is a unique water soluble, halide-free flux cored wire solder. WS482 provides excellent wetting and soldering characteristics with a thermally robust formula allowing it to be processed with all leaded and lead-free solder alloys. WS482 post-process residues are HANDLING & STORAGE non-corrosive and will not tarnish PCBs or bare copper. WS482 flux Time Parameters residue must be completely removed with DI water within 5-7 days 3 years Cool < 30C (< 86F) Dry < 75%Rh of processing. WS482 flux classification is ORM0 per J-STD-004B. Store cored wire in a clean, dry area away from moisture and STANDARD AVAILABILITY sunlight. Do not freeze this product. WS482 cored wire is available in common alloys, diameters and spool sizes. Non-common alloys, diameters and spool sizes may be CLEANING available upon special request. Contact AIM for detailed availability Post-process residues should be removed with deionized water information. at 38 - 60C (100 - 140F). An in-line or other pressurized spray cleaning system is recommended. APPLICATION Solder iron tip temperature should be between 350 - 400C (650 - SAFETY 750F ) for lead bearing alloys, 370 - 425C (700 - 800F) for Use with adequate ventilation and proper personal protective common lead-free alloys. equipment. Refer to the accompanying Safety Data Sheet for any specific emergency information. Do not dispose of any hazardous materials in non-approved containers.
