The solder consists of a blend of tin alloy and lead with a ratio of 60% tin alloy and 40% lead (60/40). This composition provides good electrical conductivity and melting properties suitable for electronics work. The solder features a rosin flux core that is 3.3% of the total weight. This is a resin-based material that helps clean and prepare the surfaces to be soldered, aiding in the removal of oxidation or other contaminants, and ensuring a strong, reliable solder joint.
