Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CHEMTRONICS from 3G Electric.
What sizes of CHEMTRONICS desoldering braid are available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks CHEMTRONICS desoldering braids in four standard widths: #1 (0.03 in), #2 (0.06 in), #3 (0.08 in), and #4 (0.11 in). These are color-coded for identification: white/gray for #1, yellow for #2, green for #3, and blue for #4. Lengths range from 5 ft to 25 ft, depending on the SKU. All listed braids use rosin flux and are available in ESD-safe or standard versions.
Are CHEMTRONICS fiber-optic connector cleaners compatible with APC connectors?
Yes, the CHEMTRONICS CCT-125 fiber connector cleaner is specified to clean both UPC and APC connectors. It uses a one-push mechanism and provides up to 800 cleaning cycles per kit. The fixed-tip, straight design is intended for LC and MU connector types. For SC, LC, or MPO connectors, the CCT-250 model is available.
What is the flux type used in CHEMTRONICS desoldering braids sold by 3G Electric?
All CHEMTRONICS desoldering braids listed by 3G Electric use rosin flux. This flux type is commonly used in electronics rework because it is non-corrosive and leaves minimal residue, reducing the need for additional cleaning after desoldering. The braids are available in multiple widths and lengths to match specific application requirements.
How many cleaning cycles does the CHEMTRONICS CCT-250 fiber connector cleaner provide?
The CHEMTRONICS CCT-250 fiber connector cleaner is rated for up to 800 cleaning cycles per unit. It is designed for one-push operation and cleans SC, LC, or MPO connectors. The cleaner uses a fixed-tip, straight design and is part of the FOCCUS MX Precision Cleaning Pen series.
Can CHEMTRONICS desoldering braids be used on ESD-sensitive components?
Yes, several CHEMTRONICS desoldering braid SKUs from 3G Electric are labeled as ESD-safe. For example, the 40-2-5 (yellow, #2, 5 ft) and 80-3-5 (green, #3, 5 ft) are ESD-safe. These braids are designed to minimize electrostatic discharge risk during rework on sensitive electronic assemblies. Standard (non-ESD) versions are also available.
Does 3G Electric supply CHEMTRONICS products?
