LOL... you need a break dave! MACGBWL!

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

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.

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

Talk about bucking the trend!!! OK, OK, I know some US military work still requires RMA. You�re both correct. Cleaning decisions for RMA fluxed boards are based on customers requirements. [Some do (clean) and some don�t.] Older US military speci

Hi I have a funny feeling that Mike Konrad and I know each other from IBM-Endicott days, yet I could be wrong. It would be funny?? Mike gave a good answer. The Rosin or Rosin Mildly Activated Flux (RMA) if on the board at ICT (In Circuit Test) wil

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

You are comparing apples to oranges. No-clean fluxes, because they are designed not to be cleaned off after reflow, contain very low solids. Normally, no-cleans have a solids content of 2% - 5%. Your basic RMA has a solids content of 15% to 30% (s
