Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials (Jersey City, NJ) is launching a new ALPHA Cored Wire product series using Cookson's manufacturing methods to create consistent flux cores, assuring repeatability with a Cpk rating of 1.826. Available in 10 tin-lead and lead-free alloys, the new cored wire complies with J-STD-004, IPC-SF 818 and ISO 12224 and is offered in the following ALPHA brands: SMT Plus, Reliacore 15, Telecore Plus, Cleanline 7000, Energized Plus and Pure Core.
Cookson Electronics developed a layer winding process that ensures consistent smooth pay-out for manual and automatic solder rework. In addition, special attention was paid to packaging the new core wire line. New color-coded spools make identification of the flux chemistry easy, and thick flanges help reduce the risk of wire damage during transit. New color-coded labels also assist with product identification by flux type and alloy, and shrink-wrapping of the spools keeps the wire shiny and clean in transit and during storage.
Cookson EAM, a Cookson Electronics company, supplies a full line of solder paste, stencils, squeegee blades, stencil and printed circuit board cleaners, bar solder, cored wire solder, wave soldering fluxes and surface-mount device adhesives.
