Engineered for professional use, it melts at 217°C and delivers instant-action wetting with ROM1 classification per J-STD-004. Its no-clean, non-corrosive flux residue boosts efficiency by eliminating post-solder cleanup, making it the go-to choice for reliable, eco-conscious electronics assembly. ## Description Kester 24-7068-1402 Solder Wire, Rosin Core, Lead Free, SAC305, 3.3%, 0.031' (0.80 mm), 48 Series Kester 48 Activated Rosin Flux for cored solder wire was developed for lead-free applications to enable soldering of most common metals. 48 has performance characteristics far exceeding standard RA fluxes. 48 builds on the performance of its predecessor Kester 44 with “instant-action” wetting to provide fast and reliable solder joints. 48 is classified as ROM1 per J-STD-004. Performance Characteristics: Unparalleled wetting performanceExcellent solderability and fast wetting to a variety of surface finishesEliminates the need and expense of cleaningClassified as ROM1 per J-STD-004 Cleaning The 48 series possesses excellent fluxing ability. The flux residues are non-corrosive, non-conductive and do not require removal in most applications under normal conditions of use. IPA will not clean the residues off the surface of the circuit board after the soldering process. If removal is required, a saponifier or cleaning agent specifically designed to clean a no-clean flux is required to clean the residues.
