Doesn’t “60/40” generally refer to the tin/lead content of the solder? In that case, there’s nothing 60/40 about lead-free solder.
“with a 60/40 no clean, water soluble resin core"
That explains it.
Is there a suggested temp for this solder?
I’m not sure about the lead-free part. I just did a lead test on a tube I just ordered. I really hope my order was incorrectly picked, because the lead-test I did came out positive (containing lead). I really hope I accidentally received TOL-09162 (the leaded version).
I have several tubes of solder purchased from Sparkfun. How can identify what type of solder it is?
“This is you basic” should be “This is your basic”
Dah! Thanks for pointing out that typo. Should be fixed now.
I had completely forgotten about that comment :)
I tested against the lead free I had at home and I was not impressed. Why? Because this one took much longer time to melt.
lead free solder often has higher melting temps
