Mudder Solder Wire Sn99 Ag0.3 Cu0.7 with Rosin Core for Electrical Soldering 0.22lbs (0.6 mm)

It's GREAT if you know what you are doing, are fast, and solder once. However, the remelt temperature is high, so if you make a mistake, fixing it is very difficult. If you get a bead on the end of the solder that had been melted, it won't remelt at normal temps. I thought my soldering iron was going bad. I finally got another iron and it did the same thing. Now that I know to trim any previously melted globs off the solder I suspect it will be much easier to use.I forgot to put the nuts on a through-box connector, and desoldering the wires was a chore. I had to crank my soldering iron up to 11 to get the solder to remelt.On the positive side, it is very strong, and (used properly) is probably better than run-of-the-mill solder, so I will definitely still use it for wire-to-wire joints, especially solid wire to solid wire joints.

I tried this just to see if lead-free solder is any good. Had some reservations because of a few negative reviews, but the predominance of positive reviews convinced me to try it. Findings: terrific solder.PROS:Lead free, doesn't sputter or hiss, melts easily and consistently, very thin for fine-level electronics projects, doesn't pile or run.CONS:Smokes quite a bit during melting.Doesn't flow or pack quite as easily as standard solder, but does well-enough.One oddity: it never cools shiny; it always looks like a dull, cold solder. But the solder is solid. Those who are used to shiny finish and believe that's a sign of a "good solder" will need to adopt a new thought process with this different material.Regarding the negative reviews: my guess is they aren't using a variable soldering iron and correct temperature. I used this at 380c and it worked perfectly. Re-solders did just fine, no problems. Joining pre-soldered joints worked fine. I found nothing seriously negative in the use of this product.Being able to work in a lead-free environment is worth the couple of dollars over basic solder. I won't be buying regular solder again. This stuff rocks.

Let me start with this was my first known experience with Lead Free Solder. So for those who dont know the difference you will when you use this. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the last few rolls I used was lead free but that's a long story. Anyways based on my usage in the past I thought a thinner solder would work best for me. Reading the reviews of this said how quickly it melts that it does. I have found that on my soldering station it melts at 320C ro 350C and flows fine and cools even quicker. The problem lies for me if I have to rework the area it requires at least 430C or generally 450C to move things around. I have damaged pads, eyelets and components with this stuff. I will not use this for any PCB SMD Ever... the fact that it melts fast at 320C makwa this a great tinning solder for my Iron. running the iron at 450 to 500C to work with this stuff is rougher on the tip and it oxidizes far quicker. So it's a great product if your son advanced soldering engineer and you can work cleanly very quick and not have to go back and rework the board. Reheating this stuff was not pleasant for me or my iron till I figured out that C and F Temps were mixed up. Great Discrption by the manufacturer for the most part plus or minus 10 Degrees in my experience

Like many reviews have pointed out previously, this solder is a bit harder to work with than lead solder is. It doesn't flow quite as freely, and it has a bit higher melting point than that of lead solder. However, these are not significant barriers to usage. Lead has long been documented as a highly toxic substance that is very dangerous to humans. Sure, you can use lead solder and just pay very close attention to not touch anything or wear gloves. If you're like me and don't want to even have the risk of lead present, the positive of this solder being lead-free vastly outweighs the slight negatives.

It works nicely on new solder tips, but as the tip wears out this solder has a hard time tinning. I have some from radio shack that works fine under identical circumstance. This stuff is really thin, I would step up a gauge. Is ok.UPDATE 04/07/2017I was contacted by Mudder to resolve the issue I was experiencing. Also after further testing of the solder it does seem to work reasonably well. I believe there were outside circumstances that were causing the solder to not melt. Overall I am happy with the product, thanks Mudder.

This Mudder lead free solder is the first "Lead free" solder that I have used. Prior to this solder, I had only used "Frys lead based solder" during my working career as it was always reliable and consistent in quality. So I was very skeptical with this first purchase of lead free solder. However, after using it for the first time I was very surprised at the way it melts and flows. While there is a notable difference from what I was used to, with normal solder, this lead free solder is as good as the lead solder that I used in the past, and going "Lead Free" is best.

I give this solder 5 stars because it does work, and it met my requirements. With that being said, given the chance to purchase solder again I will go for a thicker version. My soldering iron went through this solder very quickly and with how thin it is made it a little difficult to work with. I have still be successful with using it and have repaired a few of my children's toys. I was able to make solid connections that have held up and that is what I was looking for.

Found this to be an all around excellent product. Seeing I like to use a relatively cool soldering tip (700° F) I was a bit hesitant about it's composition, but the removal of lead (pb) seems not to have affected it's performance.I recommend this wholeheartedly. But be advised that this is about the thinest gauge solder you can buy. I would not recommend this for sweating copper pipes. This is pure electronics grade.

Having always used 18 gauge (1.2mm) Multicore solder in the past, I did not realise this was available in smaller diameters until fairly recently. Consequently, soldering on Veroboard was difficult due to too much solder melting onto the joint. This 0.6mm solder from Mudder changed all that. Along with an 18W soldering iron, I made good joints quite easily. Well worth using, in my opinion.

It do what is suppous to do.

Vorweg: ich bin Hobbyist und Autodidakt und habe maximal 50 Stunden Löterfahrung in einem Zeitraum von über 30 Jahren, wenngleich auch die meisten der Stunden in den letzten Monaten ;P. Ist auch für nen Autodidakten nicht so viel. Insgesamt habe ich vielleicht mit 4 oder 5 Zinnen gelötet so weit. Vielleicht sind es auch etwas mehr Stunden, who knows. Für eine selbstkonzipierte Drone, an der alles dran ist was geht, außer Gimbals, hat es gereicht.Ich löte äußerst gerne mit diesem Zinn, da es für mich einfach funktioniert. Ich löte mit einer Temperatur von 290°C und erreich mit diesem Zinn so gute Erfolge. Ein anderes Zinn, dass ich zum Vergleich verlötet habe schmilzt bei dieser Temperatur so gut wie nicht. Da ich eben eigentlich kaum Ahnung habe, die Lötspitze schonen will und "Angst" habe, dass ich mit zu hoher Löt-Temperatur meine Komponenten zerstöre, mag ich dieses Lötzinn. In YT Tutorials werden Werte wie 350°C Löt-Temperatur als i.O. angegeben (allgemein, nicht für dieses Zinn), aber wenn es mit 290°C gut funktioniert, dann beruhigt mich persönlich das einfach - abgesehen davon, dass sich manchmal der Gedanke einschleicht, dass wohl doch etwas Blei enthalten sein müsse, weil es sich so "kalt" so gut löten lässt.Extra Flussmittel benutze ich nicht - und ans SMD löten habe ich mich noch nicht herangetastet, werde aber gerade dieses Zinn benutzen, wenn ich das mal angehe.In einer anderen Rezension steht, dass das Zinn nicht glänze, sondern matt werden würde. Das kann ich so nicht bestätigen, siehe Bild. Kann man auch gleich mit meine Löterfahrung analysieren x.xIch habe noch mal 3 Rollen bestellt, auch wenn die Produktbilder nunmehr eine Mückenfalle, oder was das sein soll, zeigen.

no pongo 5 estrellas por que considero que tiene sobrecoste, y no es lo descrito.es 60/40 ideal para soldar.pero eso no es cierto es 99% lo que significa que nos estan engañando.a un asi el acabado brillante y de calidad.por el momento contento, pero no se si lo volvere a comprar, ya que la descripcion y producto no coinciden en la descripcion, y eso es un engaño.

Ich habe als bleigeprüfter Löter zum erstenmal mit diesem bleifreinen Lötdraht gearbeitet und hatte zuerst etwas Angst eine SMD-bestückte Platine zu ruinieren. Aber es klappte erfreulicherweise sehr gut nachdem ich meinen alten temperaturgeregelten Lötkolben von Ersa auf eine höhere Temperatur eingestellt hatte (ca 380 Grad) um genügend Energiereserven zu haben, Bei kleinen Lötpunkten reichen ca 2-3 Sekunden um ein gutes Lötergebniss zu bekommen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
