Hello Terry,

I use lead free solder not only for my own health but also to save 
the environment.

I both mine at Farnell. I will read its specifications to you;

Brandname: Multicore

Lead free 99.7% tin, 0.3% copper.

227 deg. C. melting point. Tip temperature 350 to 370 deg. C.

Contains 5 cores of mildly activated non corrosive 362 rosin based flux.

Amber colored rosin residues do not require cleaning

Available in 0.71mm and 1.22mm


Like I said, not just for your own health but also to save the environment.


Kind regards,

Sebastiaan
