Tin Lead Solid Solder Wire

Description:

Tin-Lead Solid Solder Wire is a flux-free alloy primarily composed of tin ($\text{Sn}$) and lead ($\text{Pb}$), manufactured in a continuous wire form. It’s known for its excellent wetting properties and low melting point, making it highly effective for creating durable, electrically conductive joints in various assembly and repair applications. This type of solder is preferred in instances where a separate liquid or paste flux is applied to the joint area, offering high strength and reliable electrical connections. Due to the presence of lead, its use is restricted in many consumer and electronic applications by regulations like $\text{RoHS}$, but it remains vital in industries where $\text{Pb}$-free alternatives aren’t suitable, such as certain aerospace, medical, and high-reliability industrial sectors.

Application:

• Industrial Soldering: Used in non-electronics or legacy industrial applications where $\text{Pb}$-bearing solder is permitted for high-strength joints.
• Cable and Connector Assembly: Excellent for joining wires, cables, and larger electrical connectors requiring mechanical strength and good conductivity.
• Repair and Rework: Often employed by technicians for repairing older electronic assemblies or in non-RoHS regulated environments.
