Main features

  • Low-Solids Surface-Mount Selection
  • Flexible Foam-or-Spray Processing
  • Defined Flux-Control Window

Product Description

ALPHA 615-15 RMA Flux is the 15% solids grade in the ALPHA 615 super RMA liquid-flux series for processes that call for the lowest supplied solids level in the series, including wave soldering surface-mount boards. It supports foam, wave, and spray fluxing and is classified ROL0 per IPC J-STD-004. A typical topside preheat of 180 to 200 deg F activates the flux. Maintain the working flux by measuring specific gravity at 77 deg F and keeping it within +0.015 to -0.005 of nominal. Residues can be cleaned with a compatible solvent blend or aqueous saponifier.

Key features

  • Lowest 615-series solids level: The 15% solids grade supports surface-mount wave processes that call for a lower-solids RMA flux.
  • Flexible flux delivery: Foam, wave, and spray application options support multiple printed-circuit production lines.
  • Controlled working condition: Specified specific-gravity limits and a defined preheat range support repeatable flux processing.

Applications

Applications include wave soldering of surface-mount printed circuit boards and other supported RMA processes using foam or spray flux application.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
