Soldering temperature torch or a furnace to melt the filler metal. Different equipment is usually required since a soldering iron cannot achieve high enough temperatures for hard soldering or brazing. Brazing filler metal is stronger than silver solder, which is stronger than lead-based soft solder. Brazing solders are formulated primarily for strength, silver solder is used by jewelers to protect the precious metal and by machinists and refrigeration technicians for its tensile strength but lower melting temperature than brazing, and the primary benefit of soft solder is the low temperature used (to prevent heat damage to electronic components and insulation). Since
Distributed element circuit led to wider applications. Distributed element circuits are those circuits designed using the distributed element model. This model is an alternative to the lumped element model in which the passive electrical elements of electrical resistance, capacitance and inductance are assumed to be "lumped" at one point in space in, respectively, a resistor, capacitor or inductor lumped component. The distributed element model is used when this assumption no longer holds and those quantities are considered to be distributed in space. The assumption breaks down when there is a significant time taken for electromagnetic waves to travel from one terminal of the
