Bow Electronic Solders has developed BLF 227, a economically priced Lead free bar solder. BLF 227 is a near eutectic alloy. This alloy is proven to perform well in surface mount, wave soldering, and hand soldering applications. BLF 227 alloy may be used with existing equipment, processes, coatings, and flux chemistries. BLF 227 alloy is available in bar, cored wire, solid wire, foil, and preforms. Bow BLF 227 compares favorably to other low-cost, lead-free alloys of tin and copper in terms of wetting and flow characteristics. BLF 227 is manufactured to material specifications to J-STD-006 or better.
Features:
Low cost, lead-free alloy
Smooth solder joints with no visible shrinkage effects
Excellent through-hole penetration and topside fillet
Low dissolution of copper from boards and components into solder pot
Near Eutectic alloy melting point of 227°C
