Re: [BVARC] Soldering Rosin Core

[Chuck via BVARC]

The silver solder SN-96 is 96% Tin 4% Silver has higher melting point it is 430 Degrees, regular 60/40 solder has a melting point of 361 degrees. Using regular 60/40 solder is all you should need for ham radio work. I used to work for a company that made multi-pin connectors and did some Soldering using sn-96 because that connector was going down hole and would see high temperatures and high Pressure.   Chuck Hale KF5UXP   From: John Davis via BVARC Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2023 8:28 AM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Cc: John Davis Subject: Re: [BVARC] Soldering Rosin Core   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 <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote:     On Wed, Jun 28, 2023 at 9:14 PM John D via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: Am expanding my ham experiences into the soldering world and am unsure what type of solder to use?
