I repair cell phones and computers. Is this paste good for soldering (and de-soldering) charging ports / dock connectors on cell phones and tablets?

You may want to inquire with SRA in your application because you may need a stronger alloy for your application. My application was simply surface mount LED's so I wasn't stressing the joints in any way.

for surface mount part replacement, sra low temp. solder is invaluable...christopher

Yes this will work for those applications. It is our best selling solder paste because of it's many uses

I used it for replacing an hdmi port on an Xbox. With the charging/dock port Idk. It would just really depend on how close together the solder points are and how close they are to other components. Plus, I would be worried about the heat component. Having to head the paste to get it to adhere might try other components. Of you do use it I would recommend kapton tape on everything around the area where you are working to help dissipate the heat.

Yes, I use it for transferring data to/from "and" charging my smartphone and tablet.

I should mention. Ihad to re solder the electrical on the phone end. It wasn't a big deal since I was familiar with soldering. I wouldn't let that stop you though. This is a fast, great charger. If you have an issue, any phone repair shop should fix it permanently for probably relatively cheap.

That is what this stuff does. It is awesome for car tune ups and preventing rust on electrical connections. The grease improves the conduction of electricity.

Thank you for quick answer. Also a second question, would this solder be good for long uses? And where would be a good site to look up, and learn the proper care for these tools?

This would most likely do the job for you. I believe that silver solders are the go-to variety for jewelry. I used it for stainless steel which is typically difficult to solder and it did an outstanding job. With a clean surface and using the supplied flux, the adhesion is excellent. I soldered a hole in the pan of an ultrasonic cleaner, so it is subjected to high-intensity vibration. There has been no problem at all with separation. At the price of this item, it is certainly worth trying.

Sorry I have no idea that that is, I use it in jewelry making. I would assume it would work in any soldering situation but I've only used it using silver solder used in jewelry.

I'll tell you if you don't laugh: epoxy. I stuffed an extra piece of foam about 1mm thick in the dock cradle to stablize the tablet and then epoxied the whole thing being extra careful not to get any on the connector. Works like a champ. I've now got an incredibly fast, very reliable Android laptop which is my "go to" device when I am out of the office. Of course, the trade-off is that I no longer have a tablet, just a laptop.

I've never used it for that. Being the temperature the tip gets to I wouldn't recommend using it to touch anything that can not handle an immediate increase in temperature. We have mainly used these for soldering resisters, capacitors, etc to circuit boards where we mainly are extremely fast with contact on/off the metal part of the competence.

My guess is not, since they specifically say not to use it in the dock instructions. If you need more ports, buy a USB hub. I bought a powered hub for use when I am not using the port as the tablet USB is unpowered.

I don't really know this. But I think that if it could be used for that. Stanley heavy duty adhesive is very very good. The wooden parts are kept well adhered. In any case, depends on the treatment to be given to the parts that are going to paste.

it is fine for doing cables providing you use he correct solder and most importantly...correct flux. If you really mean "electrical' work ...yes but you ,ay want to obtain a different tip(readily available)...if you are talking 'electronics work"...I would not. I usually use a low watt adjustable soldering iron for that type of work. The tip that comes with the iron is very broad and flat...and worked very well for soldering music wire for a model railroad catenary system.

Yes, but it is only meant for resistive touch screens. Meaning it won't work on most newer tablets

Yes. But, as with all applications, make sure that it doesn't touch any pins or connectors.

Sorry I have never used it that way, however just a little heat and you will be just fine. You will notice the solder paste turns from a grayish color to silver once heat is applied. This is meant for surface mount devices which are hard to solder with and iron. Hope this helps a little. Try a hair dryer if you don't have a regular heat gun.

I've been using it to solder resistors and wires to pc boards. Works grat so far. I am a newbie with limited skills, but I have not had any problems so far.

I don't quite understand what you are asking. This is a paste that works the same as regular solder only at a lot lower temperature which makes it real nice on delicate electronics where it is not feasible to use a heat sink. I hope this helps you.
