        CAgroup | Resin Cored Solder Wire 3.2mm 60/40 | 500g Reel

        The CAgroup 11588 is a resin cored solder wire, 3.2 mm in diameter, supplied on a 500 g reel. The alloy is 60/40, marked Sn 60 Pb 40: 60 per cent tin and 40 per cent lead. Flux sits inside the 11588 rather than in a separate container, which is what the term cored solder describes.

        At 3.2 mm diameter the 11588 is a heavy gauge wire, carrying a lot of metal for every length fed into the joint. That suits work with mass behind it, where a fine wire burns off before the joint comes up to heat. A gauge this size pairs with a heat source that holds temperature under load, such as a torch or a high wattage iron.

        Features

        • 60/40 tin-lead alloy — the 11588 uses a tin-lead alloy at 60 per cent tin and 40 per cent lead.
        • 3.2 mm wire diameter — a heavy gauge that feeds a large volume of metal into the joint with each pass.
        • 500 g net weight — the 11588 is supplied as a single reel carrying 500 g of wire.
        • Resin flux core — the flux inside the 11588 is resin based, not acid based.
        • Type 35 resin core flux — the resin core flux grade across this range, specified at 0.5 per cent halide.
        • Meets Australian standards — the alloys used across the CAgroup cored wire range meet relevant Australian, British and other standards.
        • Contains lead — at 40 per cent lead this is not a lead-free alloy, so handling and ventilation precautions apply during use.

        Where to use

        • Electrical work — the electrical industry is a listed application for the 11588, and the heavy gauge suits lugs, tails and earth straps.
        • Automotive work — the automotive industry is a listed application, covering battery leads and heavier loom joints.
        • General engineering — general engineering is a listed application, covering fabrication and repair soldering on the bench.
        • Electronic work — the electronics industry is a listed application, though at 3.2 mm the 11588 is built for heavy terminations rather than board level work.

        The 11588 is a leaded alloy carrying 40 per cent lead. It is not a lead-free solder and cannot be used where a lead-free alloy is specified. The flux core is resin based, so the 11588 is not an acid core wire and does not suit work calling for acid flux.

        (11588)

        The first figure is the percentage of tin and the second is lead, so 60/40 means 60 per cent tin and 40 per cent lead. The reel itself is marked Sn 60 Pb 40.

        The 11588 is a cored wire, so the flux is carried inside the wire rather than supplied separately. The core is resin based, and the resin core flux grade across this range is Type 35 at 0.5 per cent halide.

        A heavy gauge feeds a lot of metal at once, so it wants a heat source that keeps its temperature under load. A butane torch or a high wattage iron handles it. A small pencil iron will struggle to bring the joint up.

        The alloys used across the CAgroup cored solder wire range meet relevant Australian, British and other standards. Individual standard numbers are not published on the range datasheet. Contact Sparky Direct with the SKU if a written compliance statement is needed for a specific job.

        No. The 60/40 alloy contains 40 per cent lead, so it is not a lead-free solder and is not suitable where a lead-free alloy is specified. Normal handling and ventilation precautions for leaded solder apply.

        The reel carries a net weight of 500 g of 3.2 mm wire. Net weight refers to the solder itself and does not include the weight of the reel.

        The CAgroup 11588 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
