38106 Solid Wire Solder, 16 Oz, 0.13 In, Tin/lead 40/60

The Forney 38106 is a solid wire solder designed for general-purpose soldering applications where reliable electrical connections are essential. This versatile solder works well for circuit board assembly, electronics repair, copper pipe soldering, and other precision work where strong, lasting joints are required. When paired with appropriate flux—such as Forney 38120, ruby fluid, Forney 38125, paste flux, or Forney 38127 and 38128 hi-temp fluxes—it delivers consistent performance and conductivity for both professional and DIY projects.

The 40/60 tin-to-lead composition offers proven electrical performance and reliability. The 0.13-inch wire diameter is ideal for tight spaces and fine detail work, allowing you to tackle intricate soldering tasks with precision. With a melting temperature of 575°F (299°C), this solder forms reliable joints without excessive heat that could damage sensitive components. A 16 oz container provides ample material for multiple projects.

Features and Benefits
