What is solder?
Solder wire is a fusible alloy metal having the capability of a low-temperature melting point, utilized to permanently connect two or more metals that have a higher melting point. Soldering is the method typically used in the electrical industry for printed circuit boards and electronic devices, jewelry designing, and pipework in plumbing; basically, soldering is carried out with the help of a soldering iron.
Our range of soldering wire is comprised of different products from leading brands like Felder Lottechnik, MBO, Multicore, and Weller that contain a wide variety of wire diameters and lead content.
What is solder made of?
According to the manufacturer and the intended purpose, different alloys are utilized in solder since various applications call for various materials. Soft solder may be purchased commercially, with tin concentrations ranging from 5 to 70 percent. Greater tensile strength is achieved with higher tin content, with a 60/40 ratio being a common balance. It is also possible to get lead-free solder, which was developed in response to calls to eliminate or minimize dangerous elements in consumer electronics and frequently has a lower melting point than lead-based alloys.
What forms of soldering are there?
Most soldering is provided in wire form, and different wire diameters are available to suit different applications and connections. Although solder granules are best for use with soldering equipment and tinning crucibles, these tiny solder pellets are also popular for use in jewelry manufacturing. For connecting surface mount electrical components and using printed circuit boards (PCBs), paste solder is the best option. It is a sticky paste that is printed or painted onto a board.
What is the best type of solder to use?
The best solder type that is typically used is as follows:
- Kester Solder. First on our list is the Kester Solder, a 0.031-inch diameter steel-based solder with very high conductivity.
- Maiyum Solder Wire.
- SONEAK 60/40 Tin Lead Solder.
- Austor Solder Wire.
- Canfield Solder.
- Mandala Crafts Store Rosin Core Solder Wire.
