Re: [BVARC] Soldering Rosin Core

[Mark Brantana via BVARC]

The US is apparently one of the few countries still allowing lead solder. That said, it is lower temperature, easier to desolder and lower risk of damaging the board. As to the percentage, a small change will make a big difference. I think I agree with 60/40 but am not certain. Rosin core for sure. Get a diameter which will be convenient to the work you’re doing. Tiny if surface mount, for example. Of course, don’t use plumbing solder. Finally, I’m told you shouldn’t mix solder types, but usually you won’t know what solder someone used before, so the one above should generally work. Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 29, 2023, at 1:44 PM, Gokhan KORALTURK via BVARC  wrote:I second the flux! it will make your life easier working on PCBs with small spaces, small components etc. Well, actually scratch that, it will make your life easier, period. :)On Thu, Jun 29, 2023 at 8:28 AM John Davis via BVARC  wrote:60/40 Rosin core solder is the generally accepted solder.  Some solders are better than others which I assume has to do with the quality and quantity of rosin.  Do not use acid core solder.  I like some solder radio shack used to sell which also had some silver in it.  You can also buy some flux in liquid form which is a good supplement to the flux in the solder.On Wed, Jun 28, 2023 at 21:18 mark roman via BVARC  wrote:On Wed, Jun 28, 2023 at 9:14 PM John D via BVARC  wrote:Am expanding my ham experiences into the soldering world and am unsure what type of solder to use?
