| Kapp
Tin-Lead Solders The most common solder
series, providing economical joints to most electronic applications. Kapp
Alloy uses only 99.999% pure virgin lead, providing outstanding flow and
consistency. Our high purity solder and fluxes result in fewer failed
parts and stronger more ductile joints. As our customers move away from
lead containing solders, Kapp offers a full line of leadfree equivalents.
Our KAPPZAPP Silver solder is designed specifically to replace Tin-Lead
Solders in high stress and high vibration applications.
Benefits and Uses
Low application temperatures and excellent flow characteristics prevent
loss of properties and minimize distortion of critical electronic parts.
Excellent for use in production processes like wave soldering of circuit
boards and hand soldering delicate electronic components. Kapp offers a
full line of leadfree equivalents. Our KAPPZAPP Leadfree Silver solder is
designed specifically to replace Tin-Lead Solders in high stress and high
vibration applications.
General Procedure
The joint area must be cleaned to improve strength where vibration is
expected. Heat the area of application (NOT the rod directly). When
necessary, flux should be applied to ensure bonding. Depending on the
application, Kapp Golden Flux for aluminum soldering or Kapp Comet Flux
may be used for metals except aluminum. Some applications do not require
flux.
The following chart represents our standard tin-lead alloys. Many factors,
such as materials, temperature, and method of application determine the
end result of any joining operation. Call Kapp Engineering Assistance to
discuss your specific needs. We recommend testing appropriate alloys in
your specific application to ensure suitability. Samples of Kapp's alloys
are always available upon request.
