Balver Zinn will be contributing BRILLIANT B2012 SAC305 (SN97C) solder wire which is halide-free, rosin based and designed for manual and robotic soldering.
B2012 is odorless and shows excellent soldering and wetting performance. The no-clean, halide free solder wire was developed for rework and touch-up. B2012 is available in the SN100C®, SAC305 (SN97C), Sn63 alloys with a standard flux content of 2.2 percent. Balver Zinn wires are available in diameters from 0.3 to 3.5mm.
During this competition, industry professionals will compete to build a functional electronic assembly in 60 minutes. Assemblies will be judged on soldering in accordance with IPC-A-610F Class 3 criteria, the speed at which the assembly was produced, and overall electrical functionality of the assembly. IPC-A-610 Master Instructors will serve as the judges. If you don’t want to compete, but want to show your support for the competitors, stop by Booth 405 in Hall A2.
In addition to B2012 solder wire Balver Zinn will also supply:
