Wire Solders

Solders are typically a Tin/Lead alloy and come in a variety of wire diameters, spool sizes, cores, and alloys. 

The wire diameter ranges from 0.75 mm (0.032") to 3.0 mm (0.125") and the standard spool sizes are 1 lb, 0.5 kg, 2.5 kg, and 10 kg. 

There are three types of solder cores available; Acid, Rosin, and Solid.  Acid core solders are typically used for industrial applications where the materials you are working with are not new.  Acid core solders are typically thicker in diameter (3.0 mm is most common) and are never used for any electrical applications.  Rosin core solders are used almost exclusively for electrical applications with 50/50 and 60/40 being the most common alloys.  Solid core solders are normally used when dealing with new materials and require the use of an external flux.

With all solders the first number will represent the percentage of Tin and the second number is the percentage of Lead.  For example, a 60/40 solder will be 60% Tin and 40% Lead by weight.

Below are a list of the most common types of solder that we stock.  If you require pricing  please call or email.
