Flow Solder Pallets

Environmentally friendly production techniques are presently at the fore in the electronics industry, demanding the use of lead free solders and synthetic fluxes.

The resultant increased operating temperature required by their use has exposed the weaknesses of many materials used in Flow Solder Pallets in coping with new wave solder circuit board production lines.

Rayburn Flow Solder Pallets are the answer. Manufactured from a high quality performance composite they combine a short term temperature resistance of up to 400° centigrade with a high level of dimensional stability and an excellent resistance to synthetic fluxes.

Rayburn Flow Solder Pallets are extensively used throughout the electronics industry where it is found that they have a far greater life than other pallets, resulting in a reduction in procurement costs.

Production and inspection in conformance with the highest quality standards ensures that our customers obtain pallets of total quality.
