AIM Solid and Cored Solder Wire
Optimized & Industry-ready Solutions
AIM Solder Wire
AIM’s complete line of solid and cored solder wire is available in a wide selection of alloys including AIM’s innovative REL alloys, lead-free and leaded solder alloys. AIM’s cored solder wire is available with no clean, water soluble and rosin flux chemistries. The combination of available alloys and novel flux chemistries offer superior soldering performance across a variety of applications, making AIM the industry’s premier solder wire manufacturer. AIM solder wire is REACH and RoHS compliant and tested to meet or exceed IPC J-STD-006 and J-STD-001 requirements.
AIM’s proprietary production methods ensure a void-free wire and consistent performance. AIM’s hand and robotic solder wires have been engineered for powerful wetting, fast thermal transfer, and high reliability across a wide range of through-hole and SMT applications. AIM solder wire is suitable for all electronic applications including consumer, automotive, LED, military and medical industries.
AIM’s no clean cored solder wire provides excellent wetting properties combined with a wide process window, as well as superior solder penetration into plated through holes with minimal, clear residues. AIM’s no clean solder wire offerings are REACH and RoHS compliant, halogen-free and pass J-STD-004A/B and JIS AA requirements.
AIM’s water soluble cored solder wire’s activator system offers rapid oxide removal resulting in faster wetting and maximum capillary action. Water soluble cored solder wire residues can be easily removed using heated DI water alone.
AIM’s rosin based cored solder wire is designed for use where high activity flux is required. AIM’s rosin mildly activated (RMA) and rosin activated (RA) cored solder wire provides powerful performance on oxidized or uncleaned surfaces with excellent thermal transfer and wetting properties.
AIM’s cored solder wire for robotic soldering is engineered to promote fast thermal transfer and extend solder tip life. AIM’s solders allow high feed rates for point-to-point and drag soldering with excellent barrel fill. Post solder residue is minimal, clear and passes J-STD-004A/B and JIS AA requirements. Specialized spooling minimizes jams and drifting.
AIM’s cored solder wire for hand soldering is operator friendly, producing low odor and smoke. AIM’s solder wire is engineered to promote thermal transfer and fast wetting, eliminating the need to use additional flux.
