I thought the sort of solder for electrical work that contains a small

My mistake. It seems all lead-free is silver, but not all silver is lead-
free.

I'm not sure what the lead free stuff that's now required on potable water
pipes consists of - or that it's suitable for electronics.

'Real' silver solder is a form of brazing and requires a much greater
heat.
