RS PRO 1.27 mm Lead Solder Wire, 60/40 Tin-Lead, 183 °C Melting Point 756-8881

RS PRO 756-8881 1.27 mm Lead Solder Wire is a high-quality resin-based solder wire from the trusted RS PRO brand, featuring a 60/40 tin-lead mix with 40% lead and 60% tin content and a melting point of 183°C. Designed specifically for electronics soldering, this wire delivers superior wetting and clean solder joints on all PCB finishes and components.

The rosin-based flux ensures clear, no-clean residue, making it ideal for delicate electronic assembly and repair. The 1.27 mm wire diameter allows precise control during soldering, suitable for both SMD and through-hole applications. This solder wire melts easily when heated and cools quickly, facilitating fast and secure joint formation.

Applications include securing electrical components on integrated circuit boards, prototyping, repair work, and light brazing. The relatively low melting point helps reduce stress and damage to circuit boards and components during soldering. Its quick setting nature also makes it reusable and reworkable with a solder sucker.

This product uses a synthetically refined resin and an effective activator package, complying with J-STD-004 REL0 classification standards for reliability and safety in soldering operations.

Despite the toxicity concerns with lead content, lead solder remains valued for easy handling and reduced damage risk, compared to some lead-free alternatives, which have their own advantages such as environmental benefits and suitability for dense component arrangements.

This resin-based solder wire contains 40% lead and 60% tin composition. The rosin-based flux provides clear no clean residue for reliable solder joints. The wire diameter of 1.27 mm enables precise application on PCB and electronic components.

It features superior wetting properties suitable for a wide range of soldering jobs. Ideal for repair, prototyping, and production of SMD and through-hole components. Low melting point facilitates gentle hand soldering and reduces risk of component damage.

Utilizes a synthetically refined resin and effective activator for optimal performance. Complies with J-STD-004 classification REL0 standards.
