Solder for wiring are all relitvely soft, that is normally to be found in the stores.
What makes different hardness is the mixture % of lead, tin and antimony and has a Rosin core to make the solder wet the copper and stick.
The harder the solder, the higher the temperature needed to melt it.
Making connections solid depends on how you physically connect before soldering and must be clean and enough heat applied to make the solder "run, liquid " and no more, without burning the insulation.

Zactly what Bluegrass said.
Make sure you get 'ROSIN' core and not 'ACID' core (for copper pipes)
Make sure that you have the appropriate iron for the job. Too much heat is just as bad as not enough...
