Solder for electrical
Electrical equipment needs joints that carry current without heating up and survive vibration. Cable lugs, motor windings and terminals are typical examples.
Wire, preforms and bars for dip tinning cover most electrical work.
Products
- Solder wire
- Solid, single-flux-cored and multi-flux-cored wire in lead-free and leaded alloys.
- Solder bars and sticks
- Extruded and cast bars in standard and custom sizes for wave and dip baths.
- Solder preforms
- Custom shapes such as rings, washers and discs, cut to your joint.
- Metal anodes
- Tin, zinc and lead anodes, extruded and cast, for plating and protection.
