Sn60Pb40 SW21

The most popular solder wire with flux, for professional use.

  • Contains Pb
  • High activity
  • Organic
  • Contains halides

Alloy designation in accordance with ISO 9453:2014: Sn60Pb40 (103)
Product type: Cored solder wire
Flux: SW21

1. General characteristics

The solder was produced in the first smelt of tin and lead. The composition of the solder complies with the ISO 9453:2014 standard. SW21 is organic, water-soluble based, halide activated flux. The solder is soldering most metals except aluminum and stainless steel. If used in electronics and electrotechnics it is recommended to remove flux residues. Residues of flux after soldering are water washable. It is leaded alloy for manual and automatic processes where meeting the requirements of the RoHS2 Directive is not required..
The product is intended for professional use.
