IPC-J-STD-004B, “Requirements for Soldering Fluxes,” is now shipping with Amendment 1 from November 2011 interfiled into the body of the standard. The consolidated standard, as well as the stand-alone amendment 1, are both available from Document Center Inc. now.
Amendment 1 to the J-STD-004 corrects editorial mistakes throughout the document and addresses Halogen-free and Halide-free terminology and requirements in fluxes.
This standard itself prescribes general requirements for the classification and characterization of fluxes for high quality solder interconnections. This standard may be used for quality control and procurement purposes.
The purpose of the document is to classify and characterize tin/lead and lead-free soldering flux materials for use in electronic metallurgical interconnections for printed circuit board assembly. Soldering flux materials include the following: liquid flux, paste flux, solder paste, solder cream, and flux-coated and flux-cored solder wires and preforms.
