ANSI/IPC J-STD-006C
For alloy composition, Copper (Cu) and Silver (Ag) content of the solder shall be maintained within + 0.20% of the nominal
alloy composition being used, when alloy component < 5.0%. Otherwise the allowable tolerance range is + 0.50%. The
balance of the solder shall be Tin and/or the items listed above.
Kester solder purchased directly or through stocking distributors will conform to these requirements. Only highest purity
virgin metals are used to make Kester Lead-Free Solder Wire. There is no requirement that antimony must be included
in solder. DOD-STD-2000-1A (Soldering Technology High Quality/High Reliability) states that it is the responsibility of the
manufacturer to select those materials and processes that will produce acceptable high quality/high reliability products.

Storage and Shelf Life
Solid solder wire has an indefinite working life when stored in a dry, non-corrosive environment between 10°C-40°C
(50-104°F). The DOE and storage conditions will represent the manufacturer’s warranty period or the time frame wherein
Kester will replace defective product.
Over time, the surface of wires may lose its shine and appear a dull shade of gray. This is a surface phenomenon and is
not detrimental to product functionality.
Health and Safety
This product, during handling or use, may be hazardous to your health or the environment. Read the Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and warning label before using this product.
