DESCRIPTION
209AXT
is a no-clean, synthetic resin-based flux core which is the same chemistry as that of AIM’s no-clean
solder pastes. 209AXT flux promotes good thermal transfer, offering better solder penetration into plated through
holes or surface mount interconnections. 209AXT cored wire produces low-to-medium post-process residues that
are electrically safe and do not require cleaning. 209AXT is operator-friendly and can be used as a drop-in for
any RMA type applications.
HANDLING
•
209AXT cored wire has an indefinite shelf life when proper storage conditions are observed.
•
Store 209AXT in a clean, dry area away from moisture and sunlight. Do not freeze this product
APPLICATION
•
•
•
•
•
Solder iron tip temperature should be between 650° - 750°F for Sn63 and Sn62 alloys, 700° - 800°F for Sn/Ag
and Sn/Ag/Cu alloys.
Hold the solder iron tip at a 45° to 60° angle to the work surface.
The solder iron should contact both the component lead and PCB pad surface.
Solder and flux should flow onto the lead and pad or lead and barrel to promote optimum flux activity for
the joint being worked.
If additional flux is needed, the use of AIM flux dispensing pens is recommended for dispensing precise
amounts of flux and eliminating over-saturation.
CLEANING
209AXT can be cleaned, if necessary, with saponified tap water or an alcohol and water blend. AIMTERGE 520
is recommended. A water temperature of 140°F is recommended, and should be adequate for removing any
post-process residues.
PACKAGING
