Engineered for professional use, it melts at 217°C with instant-action wetting for fast, reliable joints. Classified ROM1 per J-STD-004, its no-clean flux leaves non-corrosive residues, minimizing cleanup. Trusted by experts for precision and eco-conscious soldering. ## 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.

Review: 48 flux core!!! - Great solder. However, it is 3.3% 48 flux cored not 275. I thought it was 275 when I ordered it. Flux 48 is activated rosin flux. 275 is No clean rosin. Please consider 275 rosin if you are working on super sensitive equipment. Otherwise, flux 48 is wet and easier to use. It is no clean and safe for most non-sensitive equipment according to the manufacture flyer. Review: Highly recommend this lead-free solder. - Another great Kester product. Commercial grade, high quality solder. Hubby bought it because he wanted to move away from lead-containing solder and this lead-free product is perfect. It's composition is 96% tin and 3% silver with rosin flux. He tried it out replacing a capacitor and transistor in an old FM tuner and said it flowed smoothly and the transition to using a lead-free type solder was easy and hassle free. Overall a great product he highly recommends. ## Features - Sn96.5Ag03Cu.5 Alloy Type - 0.031" (0.80mm) Diameter - Lead-Free - 66 Core Size - 3.3% Flux ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DDDFYKW | | Best Sellers Rank | #253,914 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #548 in Solder | | Certification | Classified as ROM1 per J-STD-004. | | Color | Kester "Green/Yellow" Label | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (14) | | Date First Available | June 13, 2013 | | Included Components | 24-7068-1402 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.64 ounces | | Item model number | 24-7068-1402 | | Manufacturer | Kester Solder | | Material | lead | | Part Number | 24-7068-1402 | | Pattern | 48 Flux-Cored Wire | | Performance Description | “Instant-action” wetting | | Power Source | See product details | | Product Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.25 inches | | Shape | Spool | | Size | Diameter: 0.031"Inch (0.80mm) | | Special Features | Classified as ROM1 per J-STD-004 | | Style | Foldable UV/White Beam | | Thickness | 0.8 millimeters | | Usage | Professional | ## Images ![KESTER SOLDER 24-7068-1402 SOLDERWIRE 96.5/3/0.5 SN/AG/CU 217°C 1LB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tNwMxfO5L.jpg) ![KESTER SOLDER 24-7068-1402 SOLDERWIRE 96.5/3/0.5 SN/AG/CU 217°C 1LB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815wOp0vpVL.jpg) ![KESTER SOLDER 24-7068-1402 SOLDERWIRE 96.5/3/0.5 SN/AG/CU 217°C 1LB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VRO6fcSJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 48 flux core!!! *by L***O on January 17, 2021* Great solder.
