Choosing the right soldering iron can be difficult. Do you need temperature control, hot air rework and high wattage irons to do a good job?
You are buying one Weller WTCPT 60 W 120 V 60 HZ Soldering Iron Station with a Weller Soldering Fumex and melting pot. These come as seen in the pictures. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Please browse through our eBay store for more products and feel free to...
Fine tip iron & TWEEZERS - absolutely no need to get an hot-air rework station or oven for doing just a few bits. You'll find 1206 fairy easy if you have good standard soldering technique. Doing it by hand is quick -- apply solder to one pad, grab component, remelt that solder pad...
which largely clone the fairly successful design of the Japanese soldering iron Hakko. The operating principle behind both the original model and its numerous replicas is very straightforward: a nichrome or thin-filmed heater transfers its heat to a detachable soldering tip,...
It was the blade type tip that allowed me to be the first to soldered heatsinks directly to the MOSFETS. You can remove & replace MOSFETS just with the soldering iron, but this requires very high level of skill. You will learn very quickly what you can do very fast. You can do all...
The tip this iron comes with is fine for general purpose soldering, but too blunt for anything fine pitched or smd. Of the tips I got, here are the ones I like (and why): T18-BL This is a great fine-point tip for tight PCB soldering. I expect it to last longer than the two ...
I was using a torch and not a heavy iron. I was having a problem getting the parts to tin (to accept the solder) until I scrubbed them with the flux brush (yes, with its melted bristles). I brushed the debris from the top of the melted solder pool and scrubbed underneath. I ...
iron's tip temperatures are lower than your set temperature, the system will ramp up the power required to generate heat on your iron's tip. When the iron temperature is higher than your set temperature, power is cut from the iron causing a drop in temperature. The system does this ...
for the precise temperature that will create a good solder flow, and yet maintain a reasonably clean iron tip. i only use cotton cloth to wipe the iron tip, as steel wool removes the fine coating of iron. this seems to be much more critical on any soldering iron that does ...
Maybe 250 degrees Celsius is enough. But if you are using a low effect iron with a small, tiny soldering tip that transfers heat badly – you need a higher temperature. Maybe you need 400 degrees Celsius. If you have a huge solder joint, you will need a higher temperature than if you...
