Solder wire containing lead
Lead-containing solder wires can only be used in a few exceptional applications. Exceptions are, for example, safety-relevant components in the automotive, aviation, military, and medical engineering industries where the priority is the safety of people. Most industries switched to lead-free solder wire when the RoHS Directive came into force in 2006.
As more and more applications use lead-free alloys, the production volumes of lead-containing solder wires have been significantly reduced. We have therefore continuously reduced our lead-containing solder wire range.
Advantages of lead-containing solder wires
- High elasticity of the alloy
- Low melting temperature range
- Cost-efficient
- Quick wetting
- No whisker formation
Lead-containing or lead-free |
Alloy | Melting range (°C) | Wetting time (s) |
Lead-Containing | Sn60 Pb40 (RH60) | 183 - 190 | |
Lead-Free | Sn96,5 Ag3 Cu0,5 (NP303,SAC305) | 217 - 221 | longer |
Due to the melting range of the alloy, the wetting time of lead-free solder wires is generally longer than that of lead-containing solder wires. This is GENMA’s strength. Our lead-free solder wires with their high-performance fluxes ensure the fastest possible wetting.
