The Kester 186 Flux-Pen is a 10 mL pen of RMA (rosin mildly activated) flux for leaded and lead-free rework of through-hole and surface mount circuit boards. A spring-loaded tip dispenses a controlled amount, so there's no messy flux bottle. Its residue is non-corrosive and non-conductive, and it is classified ROL0 under J-STD-004.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does RMA mean?
Rosin Mildly Activated: a rosin flux with mild activators, stronger than pure rosin (R) but gentler than rosin activated (RA).
Do I have to clean off the residue?
The listing says the residue is non-corrosive and non-conductive and can be left on the board for many applications.
