alpha fry 24637 AM31406 Cookson Elect 40/60 Electrical Rosin Core Solder, Assorted

Purchased in May for a large scale RGB lighting project. Works great! It was very easy to use and had a low temperature melting point. Plenty of flux in the core to make a solid connection. Well, I went to order more at the old price of $5.49 and found the price increased 25% up to $7.53. Sorry, won't be buying again unless the price drops. Found the same quality solder at the auto parts store for $5. I made the switch.

brand you can rely on for quality. needed some more. solder. so i got this ordered. i had misplaced/lost the. specs on my last roll of solder and im not very fluent with knowing my diameters. and lengths etc. or weights n how it converts to length. (i know how to its just typically. not a worthy enough task to expend efforts to figure out) in short. i got confuzed. order larger diameter than i needed but. ican use this for some other tasks i had planned.

It was Solder, worked fine. Would have bought a smaller Gauge, but that was more due to my ignorance. This is more for heavy soldering like heatsinks, backplanes, things that need a lot of solder. Get a smaller gauge if you are just soldering resistors, wire splices, or stereo connectors.

I got this 31406 confused with the 31604 which I have used previously and much prefer, but it wasn't worth returning as I sometimes can use thick solder. Just be careful which you order.

The best

I bought this along with a soldering tool kit for my engineering classes in college, and it has not let me down. It is very easy to take off the solder and apply it to wherever you need to put it. I have been using it for about a year, and I still haven't run out of it yet. Just a warning, it is on the thick side though so that it will not be the best for extremely precise soldering work.

A good solder for large connections. May be too large in diameter for circuit boards. I used solder to make connections on a drill battery pack and it worked great. Will buy again when I run out again.

well Ol Robert E Lee hated it, he came in late, I smelled his spot, seemed like something was amiss. After he went to sleep . I sewed him in a bedsheet, then I took out that rosen core solder, and proceed to solder his manhood to left knee, Yes he screamed and he hollered , but alas he told me I was just too fat , and we went to hospital to untie his knee from his sack. Robert has not wandered recently, but on the other hand I'm having a ball!, Shannon
