Description
Oswal solder wire is a metal alloy, typically composed of tin and lead, used to join electrical components or metals together by melting and flowing into the joint. It creates a strong electrical and mechanical connection between the components.
Key Features
- Purity: Oswal solder wire is available in various purities, such as 60/40 (60% tin, 40% lead), 63/37 (63% tin, 37% lead), and lead-free options, each with its own melting point and properties.
- Diameter: The wire is available in different diameters to suit various applications, from fine electronics to larger-scale projects.
- Flux Core: Most solder wires have a flux core, a chemical substance that cleans the metal surfaces to be joined, preventing oxidation and promoting a better bond.
- Rosin Core: A common type of flux core is rosin, which is a natural resin that produces a less corrosive residue compared to other fluxes.
- Lead-Free: Oswal also offers lead-free solder wire options, which are environmentally friendly and comply with RoHS regulations.
Applications
- Electronics Assembly: Widely used in the assembly of electronic circuits, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and components.
- Electrical Wiring: Connecting wires and terminals in electrical systems and appliances.
- Metalworking: Joining metals together in various metalworking projects, such as plumbing, sheet metal fabrication, and jewelry making.
- Repair and Maintenance: Repairing broken electrical connections and components.
