Hi Don, Thank you for your mail. I'm happy with your recommended solution. But I have an additional question : what temperature do you recommend for soldering a part with leaded solder on a ROHS board ? I my personal notes, inspired by what I read on the Elecraft Web site when I built my K2-100 in 2006-2007, I see 600 ° to 650 ° F for soldering and 700 ° F for desoldering. But these temperatures were for leaded solder on non ROHS parts.
And thank you for your phenomenal reactivity and commitment vis-à-vis the Elecraft community ! Raymond, F4FNT >> The Elecraft boards comply with ROHS. You can use leaded solder. The solder used on the Elecraft boards is non-leaded, but leaded solder will mix with it just fine. I have used it many times. >> The problem with hand soldering with non-lead solder is that it does not flow well, so I stay away from it for my work. >> 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
