Lead-Free Solder Wire Lead-Free Solder Wire for High Reliability Soldering for High Reliability Soldering Product Description For soldering applications which require maximum reliability of solder joints, especially for surface mounted components, only solder of the highest purity is acceptable. Kester does not make any vague claims of outstanding solder purity. Complete analysis of Kester Ultrapure Bar Solders prove that every batch conforms to the strictest quality control standards in the solder industry. Maximum Allowed Impurities Kester Solder Wire meets the requirements of current industry standards for allowable impurity require- ments. Elements are considered impurities if they are not listed as components in the composition of the alloy. Kester Solder wire will conform to these requirements when purchased directly or through stocking distributors. Only highest purtity Kester Solder wire conforms to the requirements of J-STD-006C. DOD-STD- 2000-1A (Soldering Technology, High Quality/High Reliability) states that it is the responsibility of the manu- facturer to select those materials and processes that will produce acceptable high quality/high reliability prod- ucts.
