ISO Solder Alloy 182 (Pb95Ag5)

Solder alloy 182 is a lead-based soldering alloy. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. 182 is the ISO numeric designation for this material. Older literature may refer to this material as S-Pb95Ag5, but this is now discouraged.

It has a moderately low heat capacity among lead-based solder alloys. In addition, it has a moderately high melting temperature and a fairly low tensile strength.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare solder alloy 182 to: lead-based solder alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
