Six clear plastic tubes of silver solder wire on a surface

AUSTOR 60/40 Rosin Core Solder Wire 0.8mm 20g 6 Pack

SKU CH-FXY5-MS4FS

Six-pack of 0.8 mm 60/40 rosin-core solder wire, 20 g each, melting at 185–190 °C for electronics repair

  • Quick soldering with 185°C–190°C melting point
  • 60/40 alloy suits electronic assembly perfectly
  • 0% rosin flux helps solder flow cleanly
  • 8 mm diameter prevents component overheating
  • Pocket tube protects wire from dirt and moisture

What this solder wire is for

This 60/40 rosin core solder wire comes in six 20 g tubes, each 0.8 mm in diameter. It is intended for electrical repairs on radios, TVs, VCRs, stereos, motors, circuit boards and similar electronics. The plastic tube protects the wire from dirt and moisture while remaining small enough to carry in a pocket.

Melting point and alloy decide fit

The alloy is 60 % tin and 40 % lead with a 2.0 % rosin flux core. It melts between 185 °C and 190 °C (365 °F – 374 °F). If your work requires a different alloy ratio, a lead free composition or a higher melting range, this wire will not suit the job.

Capacity and practical limits

Each tube holds 20 g of solder, giving enough material for many small joints and occasional larger connections. The 0.8 mm diameter feeds easily through fine component leads without overheating them. For heavy gauge wiring, high volume production or joints that demand a lead free alloy, the small pack size and tin lead composition will run out or fall short of requirements.

Questions about this item

How does the 0.8 mm diameter perform on typical circuit-board joints?

The 0.8 mm wire feeds smoothly through standard iron tips and deposits just enough solder for through-hole pads without bridging adjacent tracks.

What does the 60/40 tin-lead alloy mean for everyday electrical repairs?

The 60 % tin / 40 % lead mix melts between 185 °C and 190 °C, flows evenly and gives reliable joints on radios, motors, circuit boards and similar electronics.

Will the 20 g plastic tube fit in a standard tool pouch?

Each 20 g spool is housed in a compact plastic tube that slips easily into a pocket or tool pouch for portable use.
