Kester 186 RMA Soldering Flux Pen, Rosin Mildly Activated, 10mL

Description

Excellent for rework and touch-up. This allows controlled application of flux, eliminating the mess from flux bottles. Spring loaded tip dispenses just the right amount of flux.
Kester 186 Flux-Pen® is specifically designed for leaded and lead-free rework of conventional and surface mount circuit board assemblies. 186 under MIL-F-14256, was QPL approved as Type RMA. Although the fluxing ability approaches that of Type RA flux, residues after soldering are non-corrosive and non-conductive. 186 has been developed for use in critical applications where difficult assemblies are to be soldered, but process requirements stipulate use of Type RMA flux. 186 possesses high thermal stability for soldering multi-layer assemblies which require higher temperatures. Exposure to high preheat temperatures does not degrade solubility of the residue in normal cleaning solvents. There is no surface insulation resistance degradation caused by the flux residue. The use of a minimum of ionic activating agents and the inactive nature of the residue permits leaving the residue on circuit board assemblies for many applications. The flux residue is also moisture and fungus resistant.
