Solder

Solder is used to create a non-permanent electrically conductive connection between non-ferrous metals. The relatively low melting point of lead/tin (Pb/SN) solder is a perfect match for sensitive electronic components. For applications where lead is not desired, one good substitute is ""no lead"" solder - usually a mixture of tin with a trace amount (0.3%) of copper. Note that most so-called ""silver solders"" are lead/tin with about 2% silver added. Lead-Free Solder
