High-performance, fast wetting cored wires that meet the most demanding reliability criteria.

The ALPHA range of quality solder wires from Cookson Electronics is specifically designed for hand soldering, component attach and touch-up for surface mount technology. All products are manufactured to ISO 12224-1 specification and test methods.

• For all hand and automated soldering, component attach and rework operations.
• Minimal, non-corrosive flux residues for high soldering efficiency.
• Even core flux distribution.
• Good solderability, strong joints.
• Rosin/resin and lead-free options.
• Meets leading specifications.

ALPHA cored wires are available in a choice of high-purity alloys, diameters and flux percentages, with the choice of no-clean, rosin/resin free and lead-free options. All alloys conform to ISO 9453.

The comprehensive range of ALPHA wires is designed to give excellent wettability, produce strong joints without spattering and leave minimal non-corrosive residues with good SIR for defect-free soldering.
