Solder for electronics
Electronic assembly uses solder for almost every connection between a component and its board. Most production today is lead-free, with leaded alloys still used where the product and its market allow.
We supply wire for hand and robotic soldering and bar for wave baths, in the alloys most electronics lines run.
Products
- Solder wire
- Solid, single-flux-cored and multi-flux-cored wire in lead-free and leaded alloys.
- Solder bars and sticks
- Extruded and cast bars in standard and custom sizes for wave and dip baths.
- Solder preforms
- Custom shapes such as rings, washers and discs, cut to your joint.
- Flux and cleaning materials
- No-clean, water-based, rosin-based, halide-free and VOC-free flux, through our flux partner.
