60/40 Rosin Core Solder Wire, 0.8mm, 1lb
Lay down clean, shiny joints on through-hole and general electronics work with this classic 60/40 tin-lead rosin core solder. The 1.7% flux core activates on contact, displacing oxidation so the solder flows and wets properly without a separate flux application. A full pound on one spool means you're not running out mid-project.
Project idea: Wire up a full 60-key mechanical keyboard PCB from scratch, hand-soldering every switch and diode. A pound of solder gives you room to practice technique on the first rows and still finish clean.

- 1.7% rosin flux core, activates automatically during reflow
- 1 lb (454g) spool, enough for hundreds of boards and repair sessions
- Ships from US warehouse, no long international wait times
- Produces bright, low-resistance joints with good wettability
- Compatible with all standard soldering irons and stations
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this solder RoHS compliant?
No. This is a traditional 60/40 tin-lead formula. It is not RoHS compliant and is not suitable for products intended for EU sale under the directive. For lead-free work, look for SAC305 alloy solder.
Do I need to add separate flux with this solder?
Not for most work. The 1.7% rosin core handles light oxidation on clean pads and leads. For heavily oxidized or aged components, adding a small amount of paste flux will help considerably.
What iron temperature should I use with this solder?
A tip temperature between 315°C and 370°C (600°F to 700°F) works well for most joints. Thicker wire, large pads, and ground planes may benefit from the higher end of that range.
