bluntmoment Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 gonna be building my own box mod using the DNA 250 chip. Wondering what is the recommended solder to use for these boards? also what are the recommended gauges for the silicone wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Make sure you use a good flux meant for electronics, NEVER use soldering paste sold in the plumbing section of hardware stores unless you damn sure it's safe to use on boards! Most of these contain Zinc Chloride flux, it is corrosive and conductive and it will continue to keep corroding. It's used in soldering copper pipes for plumbing, not something you ever want to use on electronics.Zinc chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAs a metallurgical fluxZinc chloride has the ability to react with metal oxides (MO) to give derivatives of the formula MZnOCl2.[32] This reaction is relevant to the utility of ZnCl2 solution as a flux for soldering â it dissolves oxide coatings exposing the clean metal surface.[32] Fluxes with ZnCl2 as an active ingredient are sometimes called "tinner's fluid". Typically this flux was prepared by dissolving zinc foil in dilute hydrochloric aciduntil the liquid ceased to evolve hydrogen; for this reason, such flux was once known as "killed spirits". Because of its corrosive nature, this flux is not suitable for situations where any residue cannot be cleaned away, such as electronic work.
