What is Solder Wire?
Solder wire is an alloy or mixture of tin and lead or tin, silver and copper. There can be other composition as well but tin / lead (Sn / Pb) and Tin / Silver / Copper (Sn / Ag / Cu) is widely used and accepted. While Tin / Lead solder wire is called leaded wire, tin / silver / copper solder wire is called lead-free wire because there is no lead in it. The composition of leaded solder wire is 60 / 40 or 63 / 37 with 60 or 63 percent tin and 40 or 37 percent lead. The composition of lead-free solder wire is 96.5 / 3.0 / 0.5 with 96.5 percent tin, 3.0 percent silver and 0.5 percent copper.
