Solder-pallet Material Withstands High Temperatures
August 12, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
POSTVILLE, Iowa — WaveMax 5000, a thermoset composite material for durable, high-temperature solder pallets, is now available from Norplex-Micarta. It provides mechanical strength continuously at 260°C, and easily withstands exposures to temperatures approaching 360°C, such as those produced during wave soldering and IR reflow. It may also be used for long-term, high-temperature lines running 24 hours/day. WaveMax 5000 combines a non-woven, random, glass-mat substrate and a high-temperature, static-dissipative epoxy resin system. It is ideal for finely machined parts requiring thin walls with high strength. Flexural strength is 30,000 psi, and it maintains flexural strength to 13,600 psi at elevated temperatures.
