SCN Solder Wire, Lead-Based, 50% Tin 50% Lead, Rosin Core, 0.0625 in Dia., 1 lbs Spool

Common solder, lead-based, composed of 50% tin and 50% lead with a rosin core and 0.0625 in diameter. It is suitable for soldering copper and most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys, and steel using heat sources such as soldering guns, irons, and torch applications. The solder includes acid core for materials with poor solderability like stainless steel, and rosin core for electrical applications. Tin/Antimony 95/5 variant is useful for moderately elevated temperatures, offering high electrical conductivity and fluidity, recommended where lead contamination must be avoided but not for brass or HVAC connections. Note that lead-bearing solders are not to be used in potable water systems
