Technical Data Sheet WS200™ June-2009 WS200™ is a water washable solder paste for printing and reflow in air or nitrogen atmospheres where process yield is critical. WS200™ solder paste offers excellent open time and good soldering activity over a wide range of reflow profiles and surface finishes. WS200™ is available with Sn62 and Sn63 alloys. FEATURES AND BENEFITS ● Effective over a wide range of printer cycle times and print speeds ● Excellent printer open time and between print abandon time ● Long component tack time ● Excellent slump resistance ● Effective over a wide range of reflow profiles in air or nitrogen ● Residues removed with deionised water rinse TYPICAL PROPERTIES DIRECTIONS FOR USE Reflow: WS200™ has been formulated for reflow in air over a wide range of temperature profiles. The diagrams below show example reflow profile that have been used successfully. Other profiles may also give good results, depending on board design factors.

However, across the board, this may contribute to exhaustion of paste activity. WS200™ combines excellent printing characteristics with tolerance of hot profiles and high air flow rates, although extreme (long & hot) profiles may still give sub-optimal reflow and cleaning in some oven types. As with all solder pastes, reflow may be carried out in nitrogen if this is installed and this is likely to lessen the effects of long hot profiles and high gas circulation rates. TDS WS200™, June-2009 Application: WS200™ solder paste is designed for high volume stencil printing applications with component lead pitches down to 0.4 mm with the AGS (Type 3) powder size. Conventional metal blade squeegees may be used with a contact angle of 60° and sweep speeds of 20 mm sec-1 up to 100 mm sec-1 . The best printing performance will be obtained under these conditions. The product can in some cases tolerate slow print cycle times because the material resists drying on the stencil and therefore blocking the stencil apertures. There are various methods for testing the ability of a paste to perform after an extended idle time on the stencil and each can produce different times before printing deteriorates. In a real process environment, the paste has been left idle for more than 1 hour and still produced a perfect first print. Component Placement: The paste shows good tack behavior and is capable of holding components in place before reflow. Components may be placed several hours after printing, although this is naturally dependent on the ambient conditions. Cleaning:WS200™ residues are designed to be removed from assemblies in an aqueous cleaner without the use of any additional chemistries and/or saponifiers. Incomplete removal of the residues can lead to reduced reliability of the device. Hot deionised water is the preferred cleaning agent. Residues are easily removed in batch and in-line aqueous cleaners even up to 3 days after reflow. Cleaning of some assemblies is best conducted in an ultrasonic bath. Tap water is not recommended for rinsing since ionic impurities present in tap water can lead to reduced reliability of the assembly. RELIABILITY PROPERTIES Solder Paste Medium: WS200™ medium contains a stable resin system and includes solvents with high boiling ranges. The formulation has been tested to the requirements of the J-STD-004 and Telcordia (formerly known as Bellcore) specifications.

Reference 0.1 PACKAGING Containers: WS200™ is supplied in: ● 500g plastic jars with an air seal insert ● 650g and 1300g Semco cartridges Other packaging types may be available on request; please contact your local technical service helpdesk for assistance. Shelf Life: Provided WS200™ is stored tighly sealed in the original container at 0 to 10°C, a minimum shelf life of 6 months can be expected. Air shipment is recommended to minimize the time the containers are exposed to higher temperatures. WS200™ solder paste has been formulated to reduce separation on storage to a minimum but should it occur, gentle stirring for 15 seconds will return the product to its correct rheological performance Henkel Americas 15350 Barranca Parkway Irvine, Ca. 92618 +1 949 789 2500 Henkel Europe Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire HP2 4RQ United Kingdom +44.1442.278.000 Henkel Asia 928 Zhangheng Rd.
