Value Collection 1347263RAP30621 Rosin Activated Solder

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1347263RAP30621 is a rosin activated (RA) flux-core solder wire formulated with a 63/37 tin-lead alloy. The 63/37 eutectic composition means the alloy transitions directly from liquid to solid at a single temperature point, eliminating the plastic range found in non-eutectic alloys and reducing cold-joint risk. It ships in a 1-pound spool at 16 gauge wire diameter with a 66-core flux configuration. Electricians, electronics technicians, and HVAC technicians use RA solder where a highly active flux is needed to achieve clean, low-resistance joints on oxidized or difficult-to-wet surfaces.

This solder is suited for electrical and electronic soldering applications where rosin activated flux activity is acceptable and post-solder cleaning is part of the workflow. Typical applications include PCB rework, control board repair, terminal connections, and wire-to-connector joints in HVAC control systems, commercial electrical panels, and general electronics assembly. Because RA flux residue is corrosive over time, cleaned joints are required after soldering on any long-term or moisture-exposed assembly.

Key Features

• 63/37 tin-lead eutectic alloy provides a sharp liquidus-solidus transition for reliable, consistent joints
• Rosin activated flux core aggressively cleans oxide layers from base metals for strong wetting
• 66-core construction distributes flux evenly along the solder wire
• 16 gauge wire diameter suits general-purpose hand soldering and rework tasks
• 1-pound spool provides extended use between resupply for production or service bench applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rosin activated solder wire compatible with standard hand soldering irons and soldering stations used in electrical, electronic, and HVAC control board service applications.

Installation Notes

This product is applied by licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and HVAC service technicians using a temperature-controlled soldering iron or soldering station. Power down and de-energize any circuit or control board before soldering. RA flux residue must be cleaned from completed joints using an appropriate flux remover or isopropyl alcohol to prevent long-term corrosion, particularly on PCBs or in humid environments. Follow all applicable NEC guidelines when soldering connections in electrical systems.
