Temp is just a variable, could be anything, really.

If the connectors are getting hot enough to melt even "low temp" solder then you have bigger problems to address. If the bonds aren't strong then that's what you call a "cold joint", meaning the connector/wire wasn't hot enough for the solder to stick to it. The only solders I've ever used for electronics are 60/40 Tin/Lead and 62/36/2 Tin/Lead/Silver. Even when mixed they perform fine.
