Redundant lead solder

124 1 Nov 15.2019, 18:04:41

Should I continued to use my 1 pounds (2.2 kg) of Kester lead tin 60%/40% solder? The silver based lead free solder are becoming more available. I still have a pound of lead solder that I inherited and the solder dates back to the 1950s. These are for my electronics hobby stuff like op amps and 555.

As long as the flux is still working.Leaded solder has reliability advantages, but I guess for hobby use, it doesn't matter anyway, unless your hobby project makes its way to ISS.
