Soldering Flux
Soldering flux is a chemical cleaning agent used in the soldering process. It is especially useful in automated PCB assembly and hand soldering. Its purpose is to remove oxides and impurities from surfaces before soldering. Flux also acts as an oxygen barrier, preventing subsequent oxidation of the surface.
Using flux improves wetting characteristics of the molten solder. This makes the soldering joints stronger. Good wetting and a clean surface lead to better electrical properties.
Soldering flux is sold in solid, paste or liquid form. Dispensing bottles and pen-shaped dispensers are available. It can also be integrated in the core of soldering wire.
ConRo Electronics offers a wide choice of soldering fluxes from major manufacturers such as Indium.
Conro Electronics is an authorized distributor for Indium.
