Description
Overview:
The Solder Wire 3.5mm Diameter 0.5kg Coil is a tin/lead soft solder for dependable electrical joining and general electronics assembly. The 40% tin and 60% lead alloy delivers good flow and strong, conductive joints on copper and tinned metals when used with suitable flux. Supplied on a 0.5kg coil for continuous workshop use, the wire is 3.5mm diameter and commonly referenced as 10 SWG (approx 0.128 in / 3.25mm). It works well with temperature-controlled soldering irons, soldering stations, and solder pots for bench or field repairs. Suitable for building or repairing wiring, terminals, and heavier connections found in control panels, machinery, and vehicles. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 845 118.
Key Features:
- 40% tin / 60% lead alloy for strong, conductive, and durable joints
- 3.5mm diameter wire feeds quickly for larger joints, lugs, and terminal posts
- Supplied on a 0.5kg coil to minimise changeovers during repetitive work
- Typical melting range approx 183-238°C, compatible with most temperature-controlled irons
- Good wetting on copper, brass, and tinned surfaces when used with appropriate flux
- Smooth, consistent wire for predictable hand-feeding and controlled deposition
- Referenced as 10 SWG size (approx 0.128 in / 3.25mm) alongside the 3.5mm metric diameter
- Suitable for workshop benches, site repairs, and maintenance tasks in trade environments
- Leaded solder; use where allowed, with fume extraction and standard safety practices
Typical Applications:
For electrical and electronics work such as wiring looms, control panels, switchgear, power supply repairs, audio and speaker cabling, battery lugs, terminal blocks, and general workshop maintenance on machinery and vehicles. Appropriate for soft-soldering of small metal parts where a leaded alloy is acceptable. Not for potable water systems.
Also known as:
Leaded solder wire 40/60 Sn/Pb, tin/lead solder wire, soft solder wire, electrical solder, electronics solder, soldering wire, solder coil, lead solder, repair solder.
