Thin (fine-pitch) rosin-core solder. | Thin (fine-pitch) rosin-core solder. | ||
Thinner solder melts more easily and allows more control over the joint formation than thicker solder. Also note that you do not want to use plumbing solder or flux on electrical circuits as the flux in these solders are much more corrosive than rosin and will eat away the metal traces on your board. | Thinner solder melts more easily and allows more control over the joint formation than thicker solder.
