Kester 24-6337-8800 50g Rosin Wire Solder Roll 245 No-Clean 0.031in

Description

Product Overview

The Kester 24-6337-8800 50g activated rosin cored wire solder roll is engineered for high‑performance soldering in demanding electronic manufacturing environments. Featuring a 245 No‑Clean formulation, this solder eliminates the need for post‑solder cleaning, reducing production time and minimizing waste. The alloy blend of 63% tin and 37% lead delivers a stable melt temperature that supports both leaded and lead‑free processes, while the 0.031‑inch (0.8 mm) diameter wire provides exceptional control for fine‑pitch components, micro‑connectors, and surface‑mount technology (SMT) assemblies. The roll is packaged in a compact, moisture‑resistant container that preserves solder integrity during storage and transport, ensuring consistent performance from the first joint to the last.

Designed with Kester’s long‑standing reputation for quality, the solder roll incorporates an activated rosin core that activates upon heating, delivering a clean, tack‑free flux that promotes excellent wetting and adhesion. The product dimensions of 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.25 inches and a weight of 1 lb make it easy to handle on the workbench, while the 50 g net weight provides ample material for medium‑scale production runs without excessive inventory overhead. This solder roll is a reliable choice for engineers, technicians, and hobbyists seeking a balance of performance, convenience, and cost‑effectiveness.

Usage

Ideal for a wide range of applications, the Kester 24-6337-8800 solder roll excels in both prototype development and high‑volume manufacturing. Its No‑Clean formulation is particularly advantageous in environments where cleaning agents are undesirable or where time‑critical production schedules demand rapid turnaround. The solder is well‑suited for assembling printed circuit boards (PCBs), wiring harnesses, connector assemblies, and delicate sensor modules. The 0.031‑inch wire diameter enables precise deposition on densely packed component layouts, reducing the risk of bridging and ensuring reliable electrical connections.

When used with standard soldering irons, reflow ovens, or wave soldering equipment, the solder exhibits a smooth flow and rapid solidification, minimizing thermal stress on sensitive components. The activated rosin core activates at typical soldering temperatures (around 183 °C), providing a flux action that protects against oxidation and improves joint reliability. Users can expect consistent bead formation, excellent fillet formation, and strong mechanical bonds, making this solder roll a versatile tool for aerospace, automotive, medical device, and consumer electronics manufacturing.

FAQ

What does No‑Clean mean and is it safe for my PCB?

No‑Clean solder contains a flux that leaves minimal, non‑corrosive residues after soldering, eliminating the need for a cleaning step. The residues are safe for most PCB materials and do not affect long‑term reliability.

Can I use this solder with lead‑free processes?

While the 63/37 alloy is a leaded formulation, the activated rosin core works well with lead‑free soldering processes when used as a supplemental flux. For fully lead‑free applications, consider a dedicated lead‑free solder roll.

How should I store the solder roll to maintain its performance?

Store the roll in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original sealed container. Avoid exposure to high humidity or temperature fluctuations, which can affect flux activity.

Is this solder compatible with wave soldering equipment?

Yes, the 245 No‑Clean formulation is designed for compatibility with wave soldering, reflow ovens, and hand soldering tools, providing consistent performance across different soldering methods.

What warranty or support does Kester provide?

Kester offers a satisfaction guarantee and access to technical support resources, including data sheets, recommended soldering profiles, and troubleshooting assistance to ensure optimal results.
