Why use flux when soldering electronics?


AiXun

When the flux is applied to the electrical leads being soldered, it removes oxidation and prevents air flow into the leads, thereby preventing further oxidation. Solder adheres more easily to non-oxidizing metals, so this way the solder flows evenly over the electrical leads. Since the solder is evenly distributed in the electrical leads, its conductivity will also be improved.
