Which is better, flux or rosin?

 Flux and rosin each have their own characteristics and advantages in the soldering process, and the choice of which one is better to use needs to be decided according to the specific application scenario.

Below are the main features and comparison of flux and rosin:

Flux:

Role: Flux is a chemical substance mainly used to reduce the surface tension between the soldered metals, to promote the soldering process, and to prevent oxidation reactions. It usually consists of active agents, solvents, etc. It can reduce the surface tension of the metal and promote fusion during welding.

Advantages: Flux has excellent performance in soldering metals, especially suitable for occasions requiring high precision and strong corrosion resistance requirements. It has strong active performance and is widely used in high precision applications such as soldering circuit boards.

Disadvantages: Some types of flux (such as flux containing rosin) will leave slag and residue after soldering, which may gradually decompose under the working environment of electrical appliances and produce harmful chemicals, which will have a certain impact on the reliability of electronic components.

Rosin:

Role: Rosin is a natural resin mainly used for soldering circuit boards and electronic components. It removes the oxidized layer, helps the fusion between the soldered metals, and has the advantages of easy cleaning, safety and non-toxicity.

Benefits: Rosin provides better wettability, making solder joints easier to fuse after melting. Rosin is also cheaper and is one of the most common raw materials used to make flux.

Cons: Compared to fluxes, rosin does not tend to have the same activity and is not used in as wide a range of applications as fluxes.

Summarize:

① In the welding of metals or the need for high precision, corrosion resistance requirements of strong occasions, flux may be more appropriate, because it has a stronger activity and a wider range of applications.

② in the soldering of circuit boards and electronic components and other occasions requiring strong wetting, rosin may be a better choice, because it can provide better wetting and lower cost.

Next, I would like to recommend Fuyinda flux, which has good fluxing performance, easy cleaning characteristics and environmental friendliness, and has now become a reliable choice for electronic soldering. Especially for the need for high precision, corrosion resistance requirements of strong occasions, FuYingDa flux is more suitable. If you have any needs about Fuyinda flux or other needs, you are welcome to contact us at any time, and we look forward to communicating and negotiating with you.

Please note that the above information is for reference only, the specific choice should be decided according to the actual needs and scenarios.

Pad surface treatment in microelectronics and semiconductor packaging

图片
  In microelectronics and semiconductor packaging, the most basic purpose of pad surface treatment is to ensure good solderability and conductivity of the pads. Since copper tends to exist as oxide in air and is unlikely to remain as pristine copper for long, other treatments are required for copper. Although in the subsequent assembly, strong flux can be used to remove most of the copper oxide, but the strong flux itself is not easy to remove, so the industry generally does not use strong flux. Common PCB surface treatment processes are OSP, HASL, IAg, ISn, chemical nickel gold, chemical nickel palladium gold, chemical thin nickel palladium gold, electroplated nickel gold and electroplated gold, the following will be introduced one by one. OSP OSP is a layer of organic solder film over the copper foil of the PCB pad, which melts/cracks away when soldering, and the solder reacts with the copper foil of the pad to produce the scallop-shaped Cu6Sn5 and nano-thick Cu...

The Development Trends of Ultra-Fine-Pitch LED Driver ICs

图片
  1. Definition of LED driver IC IC is Integrated circuit. It uses a number of processes to connect the physical tubes, diodes, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and other components with the wiring to make small semiconductor wafers or dielectric substrates. Then the wafers are packaged in the shells to form a microstructure with the desired circuit functionality. In the LED display, the functions of the driver IC are to receive the display data in accordance with the protocol, produce PWM and current time change, output PWM currents related to brightness, grayscale, refresh, and others, and illumine LEDs. 2. Costs of ultra-fine-pitch LED driver ICs The driver IC accounts for about 10% of the total cost of the ultra-fine-pitch LED display, while it comes in at 5% of the total cost of the traditional LED display. The cost of driver IC is mainly composed of wafer cost and sealing test cost. Wafer contributes to a high percentage of cost. 3. The development t...
