Does solder for electronics expire?
No. No quite true. NASA will recycle solder if old . LEAD is not exactly a clean metal it show oxidation if very old. Can it be used on your hobby yes of course.
Solder is made of tin and lead but what is the other chemical?
Traditional electronics solder also contains resin.
Which type of solder must be used when installing lines on a WH?
Only non acidic core and non resin core solder may be used. 2mm to 4mm solid solder is recommended.
What melts at 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit?
Tin and Lead-based solder. I have noi further information. there are different alloys with differing melting points. Acid-Core solder is NOT used in electronics work.
How to remove solder?
Solder has to be heated in order to melt it for removal, usually by a soldering iron. Then the removal methods can vary. You can get a braided solder remover from a local electronics store that when applied to the melted solder will "wick up" the melted solder. Then there's the vacuum bulb or vacuum hand held solder pump that is used by placing it on the melted solder and either by releasing the bulb or tripping a lever, will literally suck the solder from the connection. Soldering is easy to learn but there are pitfalls if you're not familiar with the techniques, proper sizes of soldering irons, etc.
Where can someone purchase solder paste?
One can purchase solder paste from various stores online and offline. Some of those stores are SparkFun Electronics, Amazon, Ebay, DigiKey and SMT Solder Paste.
What is solder used for?
Soldering is a way of joining one component to another component. Components on a printed circuit board are held in place with solder. Solder being a conductive compound lends itself very nicely in the electrical and electronic industries.
What tool in used for crimping?
Crimping is creating a solder-less connection for electronics cabling. The tool used for this procedure is the crimping pliers, a special pair of pliers made for this very use.
What is rosin core?
Rosin core is a type of solder that incorporates a rosin that is used for a flux. The rosin is in a central core of the solder and when the solder melts the rosin cleans the metal of oxides to make a strong and clean connection.
What type of solder is used in electronics?
Because screw terminals would be far too bulky. Imagine a CPU measuring 1.5" by 1.5", with 300 connections, all of them screw terminals. Your laptop would be the size of a filing cabinet.
What diameter of solder would you use to hand-solder a fine pitch component?
The preferred size and type of solder is 10/18 organic core 0.2 inch diameter. Additionally a 0.075 inch solder wick is used. This is also known as size C.
Is solder conductive?
A Conductor, SOLDER IS NOT AN INSULATOR. The most common types of solder are made of tin and lead. Another type is silver solder. All of the materials used are metals and are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If you solder something you would notice if you ever held a wire (without protection) while applying solder to it your finger would probably receive a burn (speaking from experience).
