Hello Technetters, I have two questions for you regarding lead-free hand soldering :

 

1)      What is the iron temperature range that you use to hand solder lead free wire solder (SAC305)?

 

2)      Do the iron temperature should be set higher for a lead free wire solder? Some people say that the iron temperature should be the same for lead and lead-free wire solder and some say that the temperature should be 50 °F higher for lead-free.

 

I know that the iron temperature depends on many factors, but I just would like to have a general idea.

 

Any comments would be much appreciated.
