Soldering terminology

Unlike beer, which should be able to flow continuously, the dosage of soldering tin must be made as easy as possible. This property is known as good break-off. Solder must allow easy separation, especially at surface-mounting, and must form solder dots easily. Meterability plays a major role in solder paste as well. (Jennie S.
