Hi,
A quick question please.
After 10 years of soldering i am about to run out of solder wire and flux.
For the wire I have been using 60/40 Lead, 22AWG (0.7mm) wire with flux inside (Roisin? the reel doesn't say).
For the the flux Ihave beenusing Roisin paste.
CLeaning the board from the rosin flux used to be a problem but I found a good technique and now I can get the boards spotless.
So I could buy the same but I thought I would ask for recommendations, since it is such a rare purchase.
I was thinking of going thinner (0.5 mm) this time to male it easier to solder small ICs, but what about the flux type? (I found a thread on the forum dealing mainly with wire alloys but no tmuch about flux). A search on RS presents a long list of flux types.
Colophony (Rosin) Free
Colophony Free- ORL0
Halide Activated Resin
Resin
Rosin
Rosin Based
Water Soluble
Water Wash
Any recommendations please? What criteria do you use to make your choice?
Thanks
