AIM Solder 14168 – Solder Wire, Glow Core 2.5%, SN100C, Lead-Free, 0.032″ Dia, 1LB Spool

Glow Core is a no-clean cored wire solder designed to offer excellent wetting characteristics with both leaded and lead-free alloys. The novel activator in Glow Core produces fast cycle time and powerful capillary action. Glow Core promotes thermal transfer, offering better solder penetration into plated through holes or surface mount interconnections. Glow Core cored wire produces low-to-medium post-process residues that are electrically safe and do not require cleaning.

• Fast Wetting with Pb-Free Alloys
• Pleasant Odor
• Clear Residue
• Extends Solder Tip Life
• ROL0 per IPC J-Std-004
• REACH and RoHS Compliant
• Passes BONO Testing

SN100C is a lead-free silver-free solder alloy developed by Nihon Superior in Japan. SN100C offers user-friendly properties and has been proven in commercial applications since 1999. The inclusion of nickel reduces copper dissolution and produces a bright shiny solder fillet. The addition of germanium reduces dross formation and promotes solder flow. Performance in wave and selective soldering is similar to SAC alloys at a considerably lower cost. SN100C is available in bar, solid and cored wire, and solder paste.
