Best Answer

This means a 95.5% tin alloy with 4.5% other metals. You will have to check the solder's specification sheet to determine the other metals and now much of each is present.

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).


Is soft solder a good conductor of electricity?

Yes: flux core solder is. No: acid core solder is not.


How is solder produced?

Solder is a lead alloy with tin. Different mixes have different melting points, and for some work, silver is also added. Sometimes for electronic work, solder is presented in the form of a wire with several cores of rosin inside it. This was first made as a large billet of solder - the size of a pot - in which several holes were drilled and filled with rosin. The solder is then drawn out in a series of rollers in the same way that other wires are made from a billet of metal. The function of the rosin is to clean the surface of the metals to be joined, so the solder may easily adhere. For plumbing use, acid cores are used, but these should never be used in electronics. yo momma!:)


What are the six types of bad solder connections?

Six types of bad solder connections include a cold joint with insufficient wetting (Pin) or insufficient wetting (Pad), a disturbed joint, an overheated joint, too much solder, or not enough solder.


Does solder bend?
