🔩 Optimized Tin SAC305 Alloy Solder Wire, 1.1mm Diameter, 4 Inches Review

This solder proved to be a top-quality option for my precision work. Industrial and Scientific grade quality was apparent from the very first use. The 7:1:1 ratio was exactly what I needed for my project, and the 1mm thickness was perfect for the level of detail required. The only downside I found was that it can be a bit pricier than other options on the market. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and precise solder.

Works perfectly. Lead-free Soldiers tend to be a bit more picky about the flow and are unforgiving of dirty materials or improper iron temps. When cold, it looks like a cold joint at first, but it's flux residue. I wipe the finished joint with denatured alcohol, it's nice and shiny. I've noticed this with all lead free solders, not just this brand.

Great! I've used traditional tin-lead solder (for electronic work) for decades and where I've had to work with it. The ROHS compliant solder was very disappointed with its higher melting point and particularly terrible "wetting" compared to PbTn. This solder solves these complaints almost completely. It doesn't flow *quite* as well as PbTn and melts at a *slightly* higher temperature (427F vs 361F for 63/37 solder), but I usually run the iron on the hot side so I can get in. and fast, and I…
