No-clean flux from Henkel delivers exceptional manufacturing latitude

Designed with modern manufacturing requirements in mind, Henkel Electronic Materials has formulated Multicore MF210, a no-clean sustained activity flux that is compatible with both lead-free and tin-lead processes. The halide-free, resin-free material is effective with a wide range of solder resists, as well as rosin and OSP-based protectants for maximum adaptability.

Multicore MF210’s wide process window affords electronics specialists the latitude necessary to accommodate varying conditions for both tin-lead and lead-free manufacturing. With a pre-heat temperature range of 80°C to 130°C and a one- to three-second contact time on the wave, Multicore MF210 delivers sustained activity without resin even in the most demanding environments. The material’s unique formulation enables its use in both single- and dual-wave processes, with no degradation in activity level and its low solids content results in very low residue levels for a no-clean operation.

Unmatched advantages

Henkel Global Technology Champion for Solder Materials, Richard Boyle, explains why Multicore MF210 is such a significant industry advance. “There are so many variables in manufacturing today and modern materials must be able to adapt,” comments Boyle. “Multicore MF210 delivers this adaptability and then some. It has an extremely wide process window, excellent performance on challenging oxidized surface finishes, works well in both tin-lead and lead-free processes, affords high speed soldering with both single- and dual-wave systems and, because of its low residues, offers improved first time yield for pin testing. Add to this its ability to be used with spray, foam or wave fluxing systems and Multicore MF210’s advantages are pretty much unmatched among fluxes.”

Multicore MF210’s sustained activity level ensures that cleaning of OSPs and highly oxidized bare copper is extremely effective, thereby enabling excellent solder wetting and through hole penetration. In addition, the activity capability helps reduce solder microballing by improving coalescence and limiting the presence of stray particles around the solder joint.

Ideal for any process where high throughput is a necessity and minimum flux residue is a key requirement, Multicore MF210’s performance has been proven for multiple applications in the consumer electronics, automotive and alternative energy sectors.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
