Alpha launches Advanced ALPHA Telecore XL-806 Pb-free cored wire

Article Type: New products From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 21, Issue 3

Alpha, Cookson Electronics has launched ALPHA Telecore XL-806, a new Pb-free cored solder wire featuring the latest technological innovations that deliver world class soldering performance and reliability. The company claims that users will experience its fast wetting and significantly lower spattering performance versus the previous generation of competitive cored wire products. ALPHA Telecore XL-806’s unique formulation allows it to withstand the higher temperatures required for Pb-free component attach and rework while offering overall superior functionality.

“We have exhaustively tested ALPHA Telecore XL-806 against the leading competitive materials, and it has consistently demonstrated superior performance for both fast wetting and low spattering, and it is highly reliable”, said Gary Cunning, Cookson’s Global Product Manager. “It will be available in SAC305, SACX0307 and SACX0807 alloys with both 2.2% and 3.3% flux loading in order to meet the widest range of customer requirements.”

ALPHA Telecore XL-806 Pb-free cored wire is classified as J-STD-004 ROM1(for Halide content), and it passes all reliability testing for the ROL1 classification, including testing for ROL1 Copper Mirror, Copper Corrosion, SIR and EMC “uncleaned” for the ROL1 classification. It also passes the HP ECM test and SIR based on the IPC J-STD, JIS and Bellcore tests.
