RS PRO Lead Solder Wire 1.57 mm Diameter 40% Lead 60% Tin 183 °C Melting Point 500g 179-6665

RS PRO 179-6665 Lead Solder Wire is a 1.57 mm diameter rosin-based solder wire designed for use in high reliability electronic assemblies where pure rosin core solder does not provide fast spreading and efficient wetting action. This wire contains 40% lead and 60% tin, offering a melting point of 183 °C to accommodate precise and reliable soldering processes.

The solder wire is supplied in a 500g spool suitable for sustained usage in electronics manufacturing, laboratory, and repair environments. It is crafted with a rosin flux core that produces residues which do not require removal but may be cleaned easily with Isopropanol or most PCB cleaning chemistries to ensure high reliability in the assembly.

Manufactured in the United States, this product ensures consistent quality and performance in soldering tasks. Although this solder wire does not conform to specific standards or approvals, it is well-suited for a broad range of industrial and electronic applications including assembly, repair, and prototyping.

The wire has a melting point of 183 °C promoting efficient solder joints. The composition of 40% lead and 60% tin balances strength and melting characteristics. Rosin flux core aids in solder flow and wetting action. Residues are non-mandatory to remove and compatible with standard cleaning agents.

Ideal for electronic assembly, repair, laboratory and manufacturing applications. Supplied as a 500g spool for convenient usage. Made in the United States ensuring reliable quality.
