Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Good Quality Electronic Solder

2007-02-25 by Antoine DeschĂȘnes

I don't know what topic you could be talking about, but generally, 
solder with silver in it is better than standard Sn60/Pb40 one.

Kester makes pretty good solder you can find at Mouser :
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/629/1797.pdf

I have some "44" 63/37 solder, it's much cheaper than solder with Ag in 
it, and works pretty well. You don't need to clean the flux, 
non-corrosive/non-conductive flux = not necessary to clean. (Even if not 
specified in the catalog like in type-285's description)

$40 is probably justifiable for 1 pound of Sn/Pb/Ag solder, it lasts for 
a veeery long time anyways.
