MULTICORE / LOCTITE Low Melting Point Solder Wire, 1.2mm, 500g, 179°C
Low-melting (179°C) solder wire with 2% silver content for delicate electronics & jewellery soldering. 500g, 1.2mm dia.
The MULTICORE / LOCTITE Low Melting Point Solder Wire provides a specialised solution for delicate soldering applications, featuring a melting point slightly lower than standard 60/40 solder, making it ideal for heat-sensitive components.
With a 2% silver content, this solder prevents leaching and the formation of brittle joints—crucial for maintaining the integrity of silver and gold-plated surfaces. Its rosin flux core ensures smooth, reliable solder flow, while its leaded composition offers excellent wetting properties.
