Question

What is the percentage of tin in soft solder?

A.

30%

B.

42%

C.

63%

D.

50%

Correct option is C


Soft solder typically consists of 63% tin (Sn) and 37% lead (Pb), making it an alloy ideal for joining electrical and electronic components due to its low melting point (approximately 183°C). This composition is known as the eutectic mixture, which has the lowest melting point and transitions directly from solid to liquid without a pasty phase.
