Soldering and desoldering supplies

Techsil is offering soldering and desoldering supplies. Providing specialist materials for electronic design, manufacture and development.

The products covered by this new category include: solder flux; solder paste; tip tinner; flux removers; and desoldering braids. These have been developed by MG Chemicals, a manufacturer of chemical products for the electronics industry.

Solder paste

The MG Chemicals solder pastes were designed to provide a superior connection between surface-mounted components and the copper traces of a printed circuit board. They are suitable for printed circuit board assembly and repair, with lead-free, leaded, non-conductive and non-corrosive versions available.

Fluxes

The MG Chemicals solder fluxes have been formulated to provide high-tack force, superior wetting and high soldering performance levels, developed for use with high temperature lead-free chemistries or lower temperature conventional leaded alloys. These fluxes meet the changing requirements of soldering operations and provide effective adhesion to copper and other substrates.

Desoldering braids

MG Chemicals desoldering braids (wick) are made of clean, oxide-free copper wire and tight weave. They are specially designed to ease the replacement of electronic components and remove the extra solder without damaging the board or components. These ‘superwicks’ are suitable for rework and repair of printed circuit boards and are available in lead-free of no clean forms and a wide variety of lengths and widths.

Flux removers

MG Chemicals has developed a special blend of chemicals to create its Flux Remover for PC boards; it is safe on plastics and used in the electronics industry to remove rosin, non-rosin and no-clean fluxes. It is RoHS complaint with moderate evaporation, low odour and leaves no residue. Suitable for maintenance and repair operations, prototyping and small production runs.
