Remember back when I said that our Project 99super heroes “aren’t just for fun – they really work?” As I shared, their characteristics have been identified using a battery of tests developed by a consortium of users and suppliers of flux, and documented by the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuitry in their specification IPC J-STD-004.
There have been three versions of this J-Standard: 004, 004A, and 004B. Wave fluxes that have passed the latest test standards, J-STD-004B, are known to have the latest technology and are considered the safest available for electronic circuit integrity.
- Our Project 99 hero PCB-40 (AKA WF-9940) was tested using J-STD-004A
- All-Star Engineer (AKA WF-9945) was tested using J-STD-004B
- The Alchemist (AKA WF-9955) was tested using J-STD-004B
- Shadow Warrior (AKA WF-9958) was tested using J-STD-004B
Over the next few posts, I will detail the testing that proves the Project 99 team can help you overcome your wave soldering challenges, including:
- Copper coupon
- Corrosion test
- SIR (surface insulation resistance) test
- Probe testing
Stay tuned for more Project 99 wave soldering performance proof…
