Good point! I'd agree with Northy!

If you google it, the theoretical melting point of solder varies from over 180 Celcius for leaded to over 210 Celcius for typical lead free solders, silver being higher still I'd guess...

...so if your wiring is getting that hot...maybe it could be a bad joint in the first place? Wouldn't it take some sort of electrical fault to get to those sorts of temps?!?!
