Timah Solder Asahi Lead Free 0.8mm

“Timah Solder” means solder wire in Bahasa (Indonesian/Malay), and Asahi is a well-known Japanese brand producing high-quality lead-free solder wire. The 0.8mm diameter is a versatile size used for most electronics soldering tasks.

 Product Description:

• Brand: Asahi
• Type: Lead-Free Solder Wire
• Diameter: 0.8mm (medium-fine — good for precision and general soldering)
• Composition (typical):
  • Sn96.5 / Ag3.0 / Cu0.5 (Tin-Silver-Copper, also known as SAC305)
• Flux Core: Rosin-based (often ~2% flux inside the core)
• Melting Point: ~217–220°C (higher than leaded solder)

 Why Use Asahi Lead-Free Solder:

• RoHS-compliant (safe for consumer electronics and export)
• Cleaner joints with less oxidation
• Environmentally friendly
• Good wetting and flow characteristics
• Reliable brand for consistent quality

 Best For:

• PCB assembly (both through-hole and SMT)
• Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects
• Laptop, phone, or general electronics repair
• Soldering where lead is restricted or discouraged

 Soldering Tips for Lead-Free Wire:

• Use a hotter iron (~350–400°C) than with leaded solder
• Pre-tin the tip and components
• Be patient — lead-free takes slightly longer to flow
• Use a good quality flux pen or paste to assist
