Los Angeles, CA -- MS2 Technologies, a P. Kay Metal-affiliated company, has introduced a new technology to enhance wave and selective soldering. The first of the series of products eliminates dross and oxides from the soldering process without the need for nitrogen or other exotic gases. The elimination of dross provides a substantial reduction in electronic assembly material costs especially with the advent of higher priced lead-free solders. The process entered production testing this spring and will be commercially available in November.
 
The company will launch a version for use with leaded solder and another for lead-free solders, including the various SAC alloys.
 
Larry Kay, president of P. Kay Metal and MS2 Technologies, and one of the inventors of the process, said, “The use of MS2 will reduce solder purchases for through-hole assembly by 40-75% depending on production volume.”
