Hwfly lite soldering wire

[Kurama008]

Hi, i'm practicing on pcb soldering in order to install a hwfly chip on a switch lite. I'm confused on the solder wire to use for this work. Can you give me some suggestions?
My first suggestion was for Weller sn96.5ag3.0cu0.5 with 0.3 diameter but i found only very expensive solutions (they only sell in big quantities)

Try 30 awg.

30 awg is the wire size right?
Which metal alloy is suggested?

30 awg is the wire size, if you are comfortable with smaller wire, you can go with awg-40. awg stand for American wire guage.

Thanks a lot. My biggest doubt is the material of the wire now

With SMD component soldering, just make sure that it's not too thick.
As long as it has flux inside, then you should be good.
The material of the wire doesn't matter much as everyone uses it to solder components.
For some advanced stuff like reflowing or reballing, special solder with a low melting point exists but
for installing a hwfly, 'normal' solder should be fine.
The stuff I buy from my local dollar shop works fine for me (but sometimes that stuff comes from the same factory as brands like Hakko or Weller).

I would be more concerned about your soldering iron and a fine tip.
Never apply too much heat too long to avoid any permanent damage.
Too much of anything is usually where things go wrong with modchips.
And gently clean your work with some 99% isopropyl alcohol.

If you're going to install a hwfly, why not go for a picofly?
There is a great thread for it and a lot of people willing to help out if something goes wrong.

Thanks a lot for your reply, it's very precious to me.
I haven't choose the chip yet, so i will probably follow your suggestion
