Applications: The fluxes are designed to work in both manual and automated assembly processes

Platform: The ribbon itself is industry standard CDA 110 (99.9% Cu) core flat wire, coated with a precisely controlled layer of solder. Each ribbon is manufactured using proprietary softening process to improve the yield of the stringing process without wafer breakage. Kits are available inStandard 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag, Pb-free 96Sn/4Ag and low-temp Pb-free 58Bi/42Sn coatings.

Availability: June 2010 onwards.
