Lead Free SN96 AG3 48 Rosin 031 Diameter 21 AWG Solder Wire One Pound Roll

The Kester 48 solder wire series. 48 Activated Rosin Flux for cored solder wire was developed for lead-free applications to enable soldering of most common metals. Kester 48 has performance characteristics far exceeding standard RA fluxes. Kester 48 builds on the performance of its predecessor Kester 44 with "instant-action" wetting to provide fast and reliable solder joints.
