Solder Diameters

Jaded God · 04-25-2003,03:45 AM

I was just wondering what size Diameter solder everyone here is using...

is the normal .032/.32 diameter fine?

.15 is hard to find.

Does .32 work fine for ps2 installs and psx installs?

The thinner it is the easier it is to use you can use that but I recommend the .015 in

That's not rosin-core though is it?

.015 is the best. But Fry's only had .020, so I use that now. .032 is a bit large and it can work, but you will have to use the sponge alot to remove all the excess.

Is rosin-core silver bearing solder?

I don't see it say Rosin-core on it anywhere..

As far as I know it has a rosin core its not acid based it works very well for PS2 boards.

Used it on 300+ mods so far

Just remember to use flux
