🔍 Key Concepts

• Rosin flux purpose in electrical soldering • Difference between corrosive vs. noncorrosive fluxes (e.g., acid flux) • How flux affects wetting/bond strength and insulation after cooling

💭 Think About

• Think about what a flux is supposed to do right at the joint while the solder is molten. Does rosin help cleaning, bonding, protection, or all of these? • Consider what would happen to metal contacts over time if the flux left behind was corrosive or electrically conductive. • Ask yourself: in electronics and marine wiring, what properties are MOST desirable in the residue that remains after soldering?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options describe actual functions of rosin during soldering (cleaning oxides, helping solder flow and bond). • Check whether rosin flux residue is corrosive or noncorrosive, and whether it is insulating or conductive once cooled. • Confirm if more than one choice is clearly correct; if so, see whether that implies a combined option is the best fit.
