Product Information
Full details
This Servicehilfe 0.71mm lead-free solder wire is designed for hobbyists and professionals needing precise soldering for small electronic components. Its key benefit is the fine diameter, allowing for detailed work and reduced solder waste. A potential caveat is its specific formulation, which might require a slightly higher temperature than traditional leaded solder. This 15g hobby tube contains a 99.3% tin, 0.3% copper alloy with a resin core for efficient fluxing.

FAQs
Is this solder suitable for beginners?
Yes, the 0.71mm diameter and integrated flux make it suitable for beginners undertaking detailed work. However, beginners should be aware of the higher temperature requirement for lead-free solder compared to leaded types.
What is the tin-copper composition?
The solder is composed of 99.3% tin (Sn) and 0.3% copper (Cu). This alloy is chosen for its balance of performance and lead-free compliance.
How much solder is in the tube?
Each hobby tube contains 15 grams of solder wire.
Can I use this for plumbing or other non-electronic applications?
This solder is specifically formulated for electronics. While it contains flux, it may not be suitable or approved for plumbing or other applications requiring different solder types or certifications.
What is the melting point of this solder?
Lead-free solders like this one typically have a melting point around 217-220°C (423-428°F) for the Sn-Cu alloy, but require higher temperatures for effective application during soldering.
How should I store the solder?
Store the solder in its original tube in a cool, dry environment, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the tube sealed when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Solder not flowing smoothly
Increase the soldering iron temperature slightly. Ensure the tip is clean and tinned. Verify the components and PCB pads are clean and free of oxidation.
Solder joints appear dull or pitted
This can indicate insufficient heat or oxidation. Ensure the iron is hot enough and the contact time is sufficient. Clean the surfaces being soldered thoroughly before applying solder.
Flux spattering excessively
Ensure you are not overheating the solder. Reduce the temperature slightly or use a faster soldering technique. Make sure the flux core is intact and not depleted on the exposed wire.
Wire is difficult to handle or breaks
Handle the thin wire carefully to avoid kinks. If the wire is consistently breaking, check for burrs on the soldering iron tip or work surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precise application due to thin diameter
- Lead-free for environmental compliance
- Integrated flux simplifies the soldering process
- Compact 15g tube is suitable for small projects
- Good conductivity and joint strength
Cons
- May require higher soldering iron temperature than leaded solder
- 15g is a small quantity for large projects
- Specific alloy might not be suitable for all applications
- Requires careful handling to avoid kinking the thin wire
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Ensure your soldering iron tip is clean and tinned. Select an appropriate temperature for lead-free solder (typically higher than leaded solder, around 300-350°C or 570-660°F, depending on the iron and application).
Compatibility: This solder is compatible with most standard soldering irons and common electronic components. It is designed for general-purpose electronics work. Ensure your components can withstand lead-free soldering temperatures.
Care: Store the solder wire in its original tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the tube capped when not in use to prevent oxidation and contamination of the flux core. Avoid kinking or damaging the thin wire during handling. Clean your soldering iron tip regularly during use to maintain optimal performance.
