***1 Kester #186 FLUX PEN
* The Kester Flux-Pen® is a unique tool for soldering
* It allows controlled application of flux, eliminating the mess from flux bottles
* Flux-Pen® is ideally suited for surface mount rework, component add-on applications, and TAB assembly operations.
* needs NO CLEAN
Many sellers on eBay will offer you TAB wire - please make sure:
1. The wire is Solder covered for main 2 reasons:
~ solder protects the surface of the copper from oxidation
and
~ provides a layer of solder to form a solder joint ( no solder needed !! - no mess, no stress )
2. The widest TAB wire you can get ( we sell ONLY 2mm ) the best for your project!:
~ easy to work with,
~ wire will provide best conduction
"Tabbing ribbon (flat wire) is a very specialized interconnection for photovoltaic (PV) modules. It is made of a copper ribbon or flat wire which is coated in silver solder. The solder protects the surface of the copper from oxidation and provides a layer of solder to form a better solder joint. These solder-coated copper strips are used to channel electric current from the top and bottom of solar cells (tabbing/stringing) or to collect the electricity from these strings (bussing).
You can think of tabbing wire as roads which travel across a solar cell, and bus ribbon as the highways that connect and tie them together. The main difference: bus ribbon is a bit wider, and sometimes thicker than tabbing ribbon. Bus ribbon is larger in cross-section because it has more electrical current to carry.
We buy DIRECTLY from Kester - if you decide to get CHEAPER Flux from other countries - PLEASE REMEMBER - this is liquid that CONTAINS ACID! A$2-$3 cheaper purchase may DESTROY your entire project in just a couple of months because the acid continues to eat away at the cell unless you neutralize it..... (Kester's Flux pens do not require removal/neutralization after application)
