SUPERIOR FLUX & MFG. CO.

SUPERIOR FLUX & MFG. ELECTRONICS PRODUCTS Superior Flux & Mfg. Co. founded in 1932. A complete line of primary assembly, touch-up, and maintenance products for electronics. 1949 Superior Supersafe® No. 30, first Battelle formula flux, introduced. 1995 SyberGelTM and SyberLiquidTM introduced for repair/rework and hand-soldering.

SOLDER PASTE 3000 Series Conventional No-Clean 4000 Series Synthetic, Low-Residue No-Clean 8000 Series Water-Soluble 9000 Series Rosin Mildly Activated (RMA) Solders: Tin/Lead, Lead-Free

3000 SERIES NO-CLEAN SOLDER PASTE Classification: IPC ANSI-J-STD 004, Type ROL0 Meets and exceeds Bellcore standards. Pin-testable post-solder joints. Translucent residue. Capable of printing 12 mil pitch.

4000 SERIES SYNTHETIC NO-CLEAN SOLDER PASTE Classification: IPC ANSI J-STD-004, Type REL0. Meets and exceeds Bellcore standards. Translucent, protective post-solder residue. Pin-testable post-solder joints. General residue levels of 2.5 – 3.3%. In proper conditions, can be as low as 1.1%. Capable of printing 12 mil pitch.

8000 SERIES WATER-SOLUBLE SOLDER PASTE Passes Bellcore Passes IPC Residues are truly water-soluble. Post-reflow residues can be left on boards for extended time and NOT reduce SIR values. Post-solder residues do not foam in aqueous cleaning systems. Capable of printing 12 mil pitch.

9000 SERIES RMA SOLDER PASTE Exceptional reflow profiling characteristics. Capable of printing 16 mil pitch. Superior wetting characteristics. Residues can be aqueous cleaned using SyberKleen 2000 Saponifier.

RECOMMENDED REFLOW PROFILE: 63Sn/37Pb and 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag

REFLOW PROFILE FOR LEAD-FREE

APPLICATION METHODS Screen printing Cartridge printing Dispensing

WHAT SETS SUPERIOR SOLDER PASTES APART? All are non-halide. All have a minimum 12 hour open-time between printing, placement, and reflow. All are formulated for high-speed dispensing. All No-Clean and RMA pastes can be aqueous cleaned in Superior SyberKleen 2000 Saponifier . NO slumping. NO tomb-stoning when stencil and reflow profile are properly set. NO white residues on PCBs. All Paste should be frozen or refrigerated for storage.

WHAT SETS SUPERIOR SOLDER PASTES APART? (cont.) Consistent rheology, thixotropy, and viscosity from lot-to-lot. Consistent, clear, pin-testable residues with all No-Cleans. Consistent metal-load due to no pre-thinning or post-thinning manufacturing process. 4000 Series Synthetic No-Clean residues act as protective barrier against humidity and outside elements. 8000 Series Water-Soluble residues can be washed any time after reflow. SIR values remain the same when PCBs are cleaned three (3) minutes or three (3) days after reflow.

SOLDER PASTE STORAGE Shelf life for all solder pastes extended with freezer-storage first formulations. Freezer Storage (0ºC and below): 9-12 months. Refrigerator Storage (1-12ºC): 3-9 months. Room temperature storage (18-23ºC): 3 months.
