, posted Tue 13 May 08:21:  
If I was going to solder a low side device which one of these would I need to use and what really is the difference. Is there a difference in the amount of heat needed to melt. I noticed when I used stay silv 56 (thin wire) it took longer to melt than stay brite 8 (thicker wire). Or are they both the same it's just your preference. Thanks for any advice.... .

one is a brazing filler material, and tye other is a soldering material. If excess heat is a concern, solder with 8%. I prefer brazing with 15%, less prep work involved in brazing, and iff the joint doesn't take, you don't have to disassemble and start over as with soldering.

Thanks JOJO. Is this correct? The brazing filler would be the Syay Silv (thin wire) which would probably be stronger. #15 is the brazing Rod (I believe). Is both the Stay Silv and the Stay bright use on low side components only? And is it only which one you prefer to use?
Thanks again for all the Info....

Solder filler silver content is no more than 8%. The higher the silver content the stronger the filler. Brazing rods are difficult to bend, solder can be easily bent, and comes in a spool. And it is mostly a matter of choice.
