For most of the history of industrial electronics, solder has been pretty boring. Mix some lead with a little tin, figure out how to wrap it around a thread of rosin, and that’s pretty much it.

Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver ...

Soldering electronics may sound intimidating, but it’s not as difficult as you may think. Solder comes in many sizes and ...

Use only lead-free solder identified for potable water applications, meeting ASTM B 32. Use fluxes intended for use with lead ...

“Our study directly addresses a critical issue: the sensitivity of HJT solar cells to soldering flux-induced degradation, particularly in metallization and the ITO layer,” the research's lead ...
