My solder
My solder is Loctite (Multicore) 60/40 C511 5C 0.56mm 0.25kg. It’s a 60/40 tin/lead alloy. Diameter is 0.56mm. I think the melting point for tin/lead alloy is around about 180-190°C.
I’m gonna get myself some lead free solder, probably this 812020 Solder Wire, Lead Free, High Activity, 0.5mm Diameter, 217°C, 250g, Alloy 97.1, 2.6, 0.3 Sn, Ag, Cu.
