Benchtop XRF tools for compliance testing and monitoring of prohibitive metals for RoHS/WEEE are said to provide nondestructive measurement of lead, mercury, chromium, bromine, and cadmium in almost any material. Permit lead content quantification for reverse RoHS applications, including military and aerospace demands requiring 2 to 5% minimum lead content. Measures standard circuit and packaging applications, including AuNiCu; immersion Au, Ag and Sn; matte Sn and SnPb on lead pads and bumps; and ENIG stacks. Spectrometers can be configured with gas-proportional, Si-PIN, or Silicon Drift-type detectors and primary beam filtration.
Pro Series High Performance Soldering Iron (WPS18MP) is 18W and said to heat up to 900°F in 35 sec. Uses patented power supply electronics and specially constructed tips. Reportedly delivers performance equal to a 60W iron. Includes a red power-on LED that changes to green when tip reaches a working temperature. Also includes a white LED light. Shape permits the hot tip to stay elevated. All tips use a uniform modular plug.
CW-501 rosin-free, no-clean, cored wire solder is for use with Pb-free alloys. Comes in a variety of alloys and wire diameters. Is said to provide excellent wetting and solder spread with minimal smoking and low odor. Is compatible with wave fluxes and Indium8.9.
