RS PRO 1 mm Lead Solder Wire, 40% Lead, 60% Tin, Rosin Flux Core, 183 °C Melting Point 179-6660

RS PRO 179-6660 is a 1 mm diameter lead solder wire designed for effective joining of electronic parts and household wiring. The solder wire consists of a 40% lead and 60% tin alloy with a rosin-based flux core which prevents corrosion and ensures reliable solder joints. With a melting point of 183 °C, it provides a controlled melt allowing a steady flow of solder during use.

The embedded flux eliminates the need for separate applicators, saving time and reducing mess. The 250g spool offers sufficient quantity for multiple soldering jobs or repairs.

This Solder Wire is well suited for industrial and laboratory applications involving materials such as nickel, brass, oxidized, and beryllium copper components. It conforms to IPC-J-STD-004B standards for flux quality assurance, although it has no formal certifications.

Industrial, electronics manufacturing, HVAC maintenance, and water treatment equipment repairs benefit from the reliable joint integrity achieved with this wire. The stable diameter and rosin flux core promote efficient workflow and reduce rework on sensitive electrical components.

The wire diameter of 1 mm is ideal for general repair and assembly tasks. The solder alloy composition is 40% lead and 60% tin for optimal melting and adhesion. Rosin-based flux content of 2.2% helps prevent joint corrosion and enhances flow.

The melting point is +183 °C, allowing precise temperature control during soldering. Spool weighs 250g, convenient for moderate volume soldering projects. Category exploration for soldering tools and related materials is encouraged on EnvMart for further compatible products.
