Description
This lead-free solder from Mercury gives you a reliable way to make clean, conductible joints when working on connectors and electronics. It comes on a 5m length in a handy tube, with a wire diameter of 0.6mm that suits fine work and smaller pads. The 10g quantity is enough for maintenance jobs and general repairs around the workbench.
The metal content is 99.3% tin (Sn) and 0.7% copper (Cu), with a flux core making up 2.2% of the total. This mix flows well and forms a virtually permanent joint once cooled, restoring free electrical flow through connections that have failed or worn. The melting point sits at 227 degrees, so you will need a soldering iron that reaches a suitable working temperature. Being lead-free, it is a sensible choice where you want to avoid lead in your work.
We supply this solder for anyone tackling repairs to connectors, cables and circuit boards, or building small projects at home. The tube keeps the wire tidy and lets you feed out only what you need. It pairs well with a standard soldering iron and a little flux paste if you are working on older or oxidised joints. Keep it dry and it will stay usable for a long time. Whether you call it solder or solder wire, the job is the same: a strong, tidy electrical bond that holds. It is a small item to keep in the kit, but a useful one when a connection needs restoring and you want the work to last.
