Electronics Solder?
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 11:42 pm
What kind of solder should I be using for MISC electronic related tasks.
I will probably be soldering PCB's and wires mostly. I have no idea what solder I used to use, I just had a roll in a plastic dispenser, no label...
I know I need rosin core, I dont really want to have to mess around with flux, its easier to just tin the tip, and do the job.
Its hard to find 60/40 tin lead, but I hear its better, as it has a lower melting point. Most solders ive seen are 'silver'..
JW your thoughts.
