Solder is a method of attaching components to be electrically conductive to another component or circuit board by the melting of a lead alloy that has a rosin core. The rosin core which resembles a paste which melts to a liquid when it is heated with the lead solder that resembles as a thick wire on a spool. The rosin then flows on the conductors while the lead melts and cleans the conductors so that the lead forms easily and creates a firm bond to the conductor. Hand soldering may involve a soldering iron or a soldering gun. In a manufacturing facility the circuit board moves along on a assembly line and then briefly dipped on the bottom half of the board simultanously soldering all of the components all at once. This method is used on most electronic equipment in use today.

The rosin is also used to limit oxidation of the component lead or PCB pad whilst it is being heated. Oxidation can reduce the conductivity of the solder joint.
What else can I help you with?
What type of solder is used in electronics and why?
lead.
Solder is made of tin and lead but what is the other chemical?
Traditional electronics solder also contains resin.
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.
How do you solder monster Dre beats earphones in ear?
You don't while you are wearing them. Take them to an electronics engineer.
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.
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.
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 much silver is used in solder every year?
Approximately 1,000 to 1,500 tons of silver are used in solder each year. The demand for silver in solder applications primarily comes from the electronics industry, where silver solder is valued for its excellent conductivity and strength. This usage can fluctuate based on market conditions, technological advancements, and manufacturing trends.
Does the Ce mark on electronics mean that no lead solder was used in its production?
No... The CE mark on electronics products simply means that it conforms to European Union directives concerning the manufacture of equipment. The mark is recognition that the product meets all of the European legislation. CE is an abbreviation of the words "Conformité Européenne".
What type of solution is solder?
Solder is a liquid metal alloy that is used to join metal components together when heated and then solidified. It is a eutectic mixture of metals, such as tin and lead, with a low melting point. Solder is commonly used in electronics, plumbing, and metalwork applications.
What year did lead free solder come out?
Lead-free solder began to be widely used in the electronics industry in the early 2000s, following regulations such as the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive which restricted the use of lead in electronic devices.
What is 955 solder made from?
955 solder is typically made from a mixture of tin (95%) and antimony (5%). This combination creates a solder with good strength and durability for various applications such as electronics and plumbing.
