W20 Water Soluble Solder Paste
AIM’s W20 Water Soluble Solder Paste has been developed to meet the industry’s demand for a consistently reliable zero-halogen water soluble solder paste. W20 offers enhanced wetting performance in an innovative halogen-free flux chemistry.
W20 exhibits excellent print performance with an 8+ hour stencil life while reducing voids on challenging SMT components. This all-purpose water soluble solder paste leaves post-reflow residues that are easily removed with plain or DI water, even under low stand-off devices.
W20 is formulated for use with SAC305 T4 powder and is a RoHS compliant solder paste. W20 solder paste can be combined with WS716 liquid flux and WS482 solder wire for a zero-halogen water soluble solution.
