RMA CORED WIRE FEATURES Rosin Mildly Activated Promotes Thermal Transfer ROL0 per J-STD-004B Glycol-Free Fast Wetting Properties DESCRIPTION RMA cored wire is a mildly activated, general-purpose wire solder for use in electronics soldering applications. RMA cored wire provides excellent tarnish and oxide removal producing shiny solder joints. RMA cored wire complies with MIL-F-14256 and QQ-S-571 HANDLING & STORAGE specifications. RMA cored wire produces slight to moderate post- Time Temperature process residues that may be left on the substrate or removed with 7 Years < 85F (< 29C) commercially available flux removers. Store cored wire in a clean, dry area away from moisture and sunlight. Do not freeze this product. STANDARD AVAILABILITY CLEANING RMA cored wire is available in common alloys, diameters and spool Post-process residues can remain in place or be removed with sizes. Other alloys, diameters and spool sizes may be available upon commercially available flux removers. IPA is not special request. recommended. Contact AIM for more detailed cleaning information. APPLICATION Solder iron tip temperature should be between 350 - 400C (650 - SAFETY 750F) for Sn63, Sn62 and Sn60 alloys, 370 - 425C (700 - 800F) for SN100C, Sn/Ag and Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC305, SAC405, CASTIN, Use with adequate ventilation and proper personal protective equipment. Refer to the accompanying Safety Data Sheet for etc.) alloys. any specific emergency information. Do not dispose of any hazardous materials in non-approved containers.
