[QUOTE="CBFryman2, post: 2320394, member: 565445"] You have it backwards. electronic solder is tin and lead. It is actually quite conductive considering. And on such a short distance (it is simply and extra median for current to travle through) it doesnt really make a difference. It also has a low melting point so it can safely be used on electronic devices and a 15w iron will melt it. Silver-Tin solder is used on pipes because lead is a poision and plumbers use butane or propane tourches...not puney 15w irons. Silver may be the most conductive...but we arent carrying 40a of current on a 16ga wire for 10 feet either.
