No, it won't work. The acid flux becomes part of the mixture and over time it will turn the copper green and corrode other metals as well. In time your traces will corrode and your copper connections will break down. That is why all electrical solder comes with a rosin core flux. Now, acid flux is used all the time on plumbing and sometimes the pipes are copper, but the difference is that copper tubing or pipe is thick and you are not making an electrical connection there. When you solder on electrical components you are making an electrical connection through the solder with usually copper traces and copper wire. The interface between these connections is what breaks down to copper oxides and become very resistive to current flow. So, that over time your electrical connection will no longer be a good connection for current flow.
So use for structural only no electrical got it
