solderable
Ready for joining
Solderable describes materials or components capable of being joined with solder—a fusible metal alloy melted to bond metal surfaces.
The term appears in electronics and metalworking: Make sure the wires are clean and solderable.
Components may lose solderability through oxidation or contamination, making proper surface preparation essential.
