SOLDER WIRE GR-40/60 SWG-16

No-Clean Flux-Cored Tin-Lead Solder Wire – 500 g Reel

The No-Clean Flux-Cored Tin-Lead Solder Wire is designed for compatible electrical and electronic soldering applications, including assembly, maintenance and repair work where a lead-containing solder alloy is permitted. Supplied on a convenient 500 g reel, it provides a substantial quantity of solder wire for regular workshop and production use.

The wire features a single internal no-clean flux core, combining solder alloy and flux in one wire. This flux-cored construction makes solder application convenient by delivering the solder and flux together at the joint during heating. The flux assists with surface oxide removal and solder wetting, helping the molten solder flow onto properly prepared, compatible surfaces.

The no-clean designation indicates that the flux is intended for processes where minimal or no post-solder cleaning may be required. However, whether flux residue can safely remain depends on the specific application, assembly requirements and manufacturer's recommendations.

Key Features

1. Tin-Lead Solder Alloy: Suitable for soldering applications where a lead-containing Sn/Pb solder alloy is specified or permitted.
2. Single No-Clean Flux Core: Contains an internal flux core that assists with oxide removal and supports solder wetting during the soldering process.
3. Solder and Flux in One Wire: Combines the solder alloy and flux into a single convenient wire for easier application.
4. 500 g Reel: Provides a substantial quantity of solder for repeated assembly, maintenance, servicing and repair work.
5. Convenient Dispensing: The reel keeps the wire neatly organised and allows solder to be fed as required during the job.
6. Workshop-Friendly Format: Suitable for regular use at soldering stations, service benches, assembly areas and repair workstations.

Product Specifications

Applications

This solder wire is suitable for electrical and electronic assembly, component soldering, equipment maintenance, servicing and repair applications where the specified tin-lead alloy and no-clean flux are compatible with the work.

Before selecting the wire, confirm that its alloy composition, wire diameter and flux characteristics match the requirements of your application. The appropriate wire size should be selected according to the joint size, component type and amount of solder required.

Soldering Guidance

For a reliable solder joint, ensure the surfaces being joined are suitable and properly prepared. Heat the joint adequately, feed the solder into the heated joint, and allow the solder to cool without disturbing the connection.

Use soldering equipment and operating conditions appropriate for the components and materials being joined. Avoid assuming a specific soldering temperature without referring to the solder manufacturer's recommendations and the requirements of the assembly.

Important Safety Information

This product contains lead. Use suitable ventilation or fume extraction during soldering, avoid unnecessary contact with solder residues, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and applicable workplace safety requirements.

The “No-Clean” designation should not be interpreted as meaning that flux residue is automatically acceptable for every application. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and the cleanliness requirements of the finished assembly.

If your application requires lead-free solder, select a suitable lead-free solder alloy instead.
