Dual-Alloy Rosin-Core Solder Wire Set – Sn63/Pb37 & Sn60/Pb40, 0.8mm
Dual-Alloy Rosin-Core Solder Wire Set – Sn63/Pb37 & Sn60/Pb40, 0.8mm
An alloy rosin-core solder wire set for model railway wiring, PCB assembly, electronics repairs, RC projects and general workshop soldering. Spools use a 0.8mm diameter for controlled solder flow on small components, track feeders, terminals and electrical connections.
Best Solder alloy for general-purpose applications
- Sn60/Pb40 general-purpose solder: a versatile traditional alloy for model railway wiring, electrical connections and workshop repairs.
Features and specifications
- Set includes 1 spool of solder wire (100 g)
- Alloys: Sn60/Pb40
- Wire diameter: 0.8mm
- Rosin-core flux content: approximately 1.8–2.2%
- Integrated flux promotes wetting and helps remove light surface oxidation
- Suitable for compatible circuit boards, electrical wiring, model railway track feeders, terminals and hobby-electronics projects
Recommended tools
- Temperature-controlled soldering iron or a suitable 35–40W iron
- Clean pencil or small chisel tip appropriate to the joint
- Tip cleaner, fine abrasive or wire brush for preparing compatible metal surfaces
- Isopropyl alcohol for final cleaning where suitable
- Additional electronics-grade rosin flux when required
Model railway soldering tips
- Clean the rail, rail joiner or wire until the contact surface is bright.
- Apply a small amount of electronics-grade rosin flux if required.
- Tin the clean iron tip with a small amount of solder.
- Heat the joint, then feed solder to the heated work rather than coating the iron tip.
- Remove the iron as soon as the solder flows to minimise heat transfer to nearby plastic sleepers and components.
Keep solder away from the top and inside running faces of model railway rail. On larger layouts, plan suitable expansion gaps rather than soldering every rail joint.
Important lead and fume safety information
This product contains lead. Use with effective ventilation or local fume extraction and avoid breathing soldering fumes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke while using the product. Keep away from children, pets and food-preparation areas. Do not use for plumbing, potable-water systems or applications requiring lead-free solder. Follow applicable workplace requirements and the product safety information.
