The flux variants offer solutions for various soldering processes, including wave, selective, and dip soldering, with options tailored for nitrogen applications.
Hessian manufacturer Emil Otto has introduced the A and B versions of its alcohol-based fluxes, EO-B-008 and EO-B-013. The company says the products are designed for electronics manufacturers, cable assemblers, and soldering process operators.
The EO-B-008 flux, with a solid content of 4 wt.-%, is made for short-cycle wave soldering systems. It performs well in scenarios where PCBs stay in the preheating phase before entering a solder wave.
EO-B-008A, with a solid content of 2%, is a No-Clean flux based on alcohol with dicarboxylic acids and synthetic resin. It is suitable for wave soldering, dip soldering, and cable assembly. It is designed for full-tunnel nitrogen applications and provides a wide process window and stable performance. EO-B-008B, with a solid content of 3%, is a versatile variant suitable for wave soldering and other applications.
“By using the EO-B-008, excellent solder joints are achieved, while the PCB has an extremely clean, residue-free surface after the soldering process. This contributes significantly to the high quality and reliability of the end product. To optimize this quality even more, we have decided to develop further variants of the EO-B-008,” explains Markus Gebner, Head of Marketing and Sales at Emil Otto GmbH.
EO-B-013 is a flux designed for wave and selective soldering and dip soldering in cable assembly. Like EO-B-008, it is based on alcohol with dicarboxylic acids and synthetic resin, applied through spray fluxing. EO-B-013A is designed for full-tunnel nitrogen applications. This variant has a solid content of 2% and performs well due to its process window and temperature stability. EO-B-013B, with a solid content of 3%, is similarly effective for various applications.
“EO-B-013 is also a No Clean-Flux with exceptional properties and excellent residue behaviour. We are now offering versions A and B of these products as well,” continues Gebner.
