Solder｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Cable Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Solder?
Solder is a metal alloy used to join metal components together.
It is commonly made from tin-based materials and melts at relatively low temperatures compared to the metals being connected.
Lead-free solder is now widely used due to environmental and safety regulations.
Solder in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, solder is used to connect center contacts, inner conductors, and grounding components.
Proper soldering is important to ensure stable electrical contact and minimize signal loss.
Excessive heat or improper soldering techniques may damage components or degrade performance.
