    Eutectic is recommended for beginners? This should be the primary solder used on every project you do for the rest of your life. 60/40 is sloppy and takes twice as long to heat, plus it has a temperature range where its soft and ‘bendy’ before it melts. Eutectic (63/37) has no soft point, it goes from solid to liquid instantly, which means you don’t have to wait an extra 4 seconds for it to heat up and cool down. Now 4 seconds is nothing, but when you are soldering SMT with an exact iron temperature, it makes all the difference whether or not you’ve just destroyed a component. Don’t think this is best for SMT only, using it with PTH will not only insure a quicker connection, but less time that the solder stays heated and moveable, so no more disturbed joints.

      Agreed. 63/37 solder should be the only leaded blend used for non-manufacturing soldering, beginner or expert.
      The 60/40 blend is only used in manufacturing because it is cheaper, and there are tighter heating controls so they don’t need the eutectic properties. It should never be purchased by hobbiests who value their projects and their time.

    How do you clean the flux after you’re done soldering?

    • BB | about 10 months ago 1

      You don’t. It’s no-clean flux, and non-corrosive. If you simply must clean it, try using alcohol. Make sure it dries before powering the circuit.
