Soldering each type of solder and alloy has different melting temperatures. The term "silver solder" denotes the type of solder that is used. Some soft solders are "silver-bearing" alloys used to solder silver-plated items. Lead-based solders should not be used on precious metals because the lead dissolves the metal and disfigures it. The distinction between soldering and brazing is based on the melting temperature of the filler alloy. A temperature of 450 °C is usually used as a practical demarcation between soldering and brazing. Soft soldering can be done with a heated iron whereas the other methods typically require a higher
Electrical connector other connectors such as Banana connectors. A connector that locks a metal spade to a terminal by screwing them together. Crimp connectors can be used for fast and friction-type connections in DC applications where connections are broken repeatedly. Alligator connectors are often used as temporary test leads. A screw terminal is a type of electrical connector where a wire is held by the tightening of a screw. Phone connectors can be used as connectors in microphone cables and for low-voltage, low-current applications. Pogo Pin Connectors or Spring Loaded Connectors is a connector type commonly used in consumer products. The Connector
