Abstract
Abstract Wax-flux compositions for use in low-temperature soldering processes comprise (A) a major amount of a wax and (B) an effective amount to cause fluxing, at or below the soldering temperature of the piece to be soldered, of a wax-soluble amine salt of an alpha-bromo aliphatic carboxylic acid. A process for soldering electrical components to a printed circuit board comprises (A) applying a molten wax-flux composition as described above to the metal pattern side of the board, (B) allowing the wax-flux composition to solidify, (C) trimming the components leads, and (D) soldering the components to the printed circuit board.
