ALHPA, stocked and distributed by Active Components, has announced the global launch of the ALPHA EF-6850HF halogen-free liquid soldering flux.
The new soldering flux is a halogen-free, low solids, alcohol-based, no-clean solution formulated for use in Sn-Pb and Pb-free applications on both standard and thicker, high-density PCBs.
The ALPHA EF-6850HF liquid flux is suited for use in wave, selective and rework soldering applications.
The environmentally friendly flux has already been qualified for use by multiple large OEM and EMS assemblers.
According to Alpha, the flux has a unique activator package which produces highly reliable assemblies with excellent cosmetics with a uniform, tack-free residue and pin testability. The flux also offers excellent low bridging and low solder ball results.
The solution’s low surface tension allows for high through hole penetration and uniform SMT pad coverage, making it suited for reliable soldering in both single and dual wave processes using SAC305 or low silver alloys such as the ALPHA SACX Plus series.
