Hey all, 

 

I have a minor problem with a component in house.  The component leads
are 19 AWG nickel and I need to connect to them using 20AWG copper wire.
I looked in the archives for previous discussions on this topics and
came away with the impression that OA flux is required.  My question is:
Can I solder these parts without having to go out and get some OA flux?
We use RMA and I'm reluctant to bring in a different flux and have it
used rather than the RMA.  Can one mechanically prep the leads, then
flux with RMA, then dunk in the solder pot?

 

Thanks in advance for all your input!
