Indium Corporation recently earned a Mexico Technology Award for its new high-reliability, halide- and halogen-free flux-cored wire, CW-807RS, which improves wetting speeds and cycle times for electronics assembly and robot soldering applications.
CW-807RS is a no-clean formula designed to maximize the solderability of a halogen-free cored wire solder flux. It is an upgraded version of Indium Corporation’s CW-807 formula, which has been popular with electronics assemblers and other customers for many years. This version has been modernized for today’s electronics assembly demand to provide improved wetting speeds and contains the company’s industry-leading spatter control technology.
Halogen-free CW-807RS delivers several benefits to users, including:
- Faster wetting speeds
- Clear residues for electronics assemblers that use high (>385°C) tip temperatures and tend to experience charring and tip build-up
- Improved cycle times in robotic soldering applications
Mexico EMS presents the Mexico Technology Awards to recognize the best new innovations in the printed circuit assembly and packaging industries during the past year. This year’s awards were presented during a ceremony at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo and Tech Forum on September 17.
“At Indium Corporation, we believe that materials science changes the world,” said Alfonso Herrera, the company’s Regional Sales Manager for Mexico. “We are honored to receive this Mexico Technology Award for CW-807RS, which provides a wide array of exceptional benefits in both manual and robotic soldering applications.”
