It doesn't take much imagination to visualize the value changing each time it got warm enough to soften or melt the solder.

If you're getting your shunt over 250 degrees Celsius then maybe you're Doing It Wrong,

Or you're testing the limits of the component...   :-DD

The Shunt had big balls of solder and deep grooves, solder splatter, fingerprint on the inside of the display.
I have seen such shunts in cheap Chinese multimeters.

That's a pretty high temperature. I use only REAL solder with a melting point of about 360 degrees fahrenheit. I think it's 180 degrees on the "C word" scale, which I don't use.

If it doesn't have lead in it, then it's not REAL solder and it's not on my bench.

LEAD FOREVER! Resist government tyranny!
