solder recommendation

Post by bobbertolino »

Hello
I have the following components
Adafruit ESP32-S2 Feather with BME280 Sensor - STEMMA QT - 4MB Flash + 2 MB PSRAM - PID: 5303

Adafruit FeatherWing OLED - 128x64 OLED Add-on For Feather - STEMMA QT / Qwiic PID: 4650

Adafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL FeatherWing - Precision 9-DoF IMUAdafruit LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL FeatherWing - Precision 9-DoF IMU PID: 4565

I am going to buy a few headers make it easier to stack them; however, I do wish to solder the ends.

What type of solder would you recommend?

Thanks,
Bob

Do you have experience in soldering? My preference is .032" 60/40 leaded. You can get along with .020" but I'm clumsy so I like the extra thickness. Kester and MultiCore are good if you make sure to get "electronics" flux.
