In addition to Dave�s response: RO fluxes are based on natural pine (tree) rosin. RE fluxes are based on synthetic or modified rosins called resin. Below a couple of advantages resin can have compared to rosin: � Better thermal stability. � Resin

Thanks Patrick, also IPC-HDBK-001 explains even better then IPC-J-STD-004, but unfortunately not yet infos about flux for L-F soldering.That's why I am trying to get some infos more from experienced people. Some L-F (SAC or SACX) cored wires vendor

I have always been under the impression that you want the flux make-up of your cored wire and supplemental flux (squeeze bottle) to be as identical/compatible as possible. I was just looking over a manufacturers datasheet for a resin-based cored wir

A solder wire classified as L0 under IPC J-STD-004 means that the flux residues can be left on the board safely, and when you select this type of cored wire the intention is not to clean. You just select a solder wire that gives you an acceptable lev

Are there significant diffrences in terms of soldering (wire for manual solder) performance by using RO vs RE fluxes? Wich are the main differences between the two fluxes? Thank you Regards.....GSx

At the end of the day, you won't notice a difference, while soldering, but if you clean the flux residues.

OR: Stands for organic (organic acid based flux) with the absence of rosin and/or resin. If you want to know everything about the classification of fluxes get the J-STD-004 �Requirements for Soldering Fluxes� at following link: http://webvision.ipc

Tnks Davef, be patient pls, what does it exactely mean? That one of the two, in case of cleaning needs the flux residues are more difficult to remove for one of the two fluxes ? i.e. NC wire fluxed by ROL0 compared to fluxed REL0, in terms of so

Thank Patrick for your infos. Seen that youa are an expett, when you'll have time, pls, tell me some thing about ORL0 (always in wire for L-F manual solder) compared to ROL0 and REL0 earlier already explained me. Rgrds....GSx PS:my target is to le

Tnks Patrick, additional infos..... we are just playng with different NC solder wires L-F, the best results in terms of solderability (faster solder flowing, holes filling up) it seams are coming from an ROM1, as we know, according to J-STD-004, or
