M8 No Clean Solder Paste
AIM engineered M8 No Clean Solder Paste for the most demanding applications, including automotive, LED lighting and EMS assemblies. M8 solder paste provides consistent transfer efficiency at area ratios >0.50 while eliminating head-in-pillow (HiP) and non-wet-open (NWO) defects. It also reduces voiding to <5% on BGA components and <10% on BTC components.
M8’s flux system provides powerful wetting performance even on lead-free surfaces while leaving minimal, clear, pin-testable residue with high SIR properties. Formulated for use with type 4 powder, M8 is also compatible with type 5 and type 6 mesh sizes in both leaded and lead-free alloys.
To guarantee the highest quality, AIM collaborates closely with coating and cleaning industry leaders, ensuring that M8’s residues can be directly conformally coated or easily removed using standard no clean flux cleaning processes.
