Soldering iron tips are a critical component of any soldering project, and choosing the right tip can make all the difference. When selecting a tip, consider the size and shape of the component you’re soldering, as well as the type of soldering work you’ll be doing. Pointed tips are id...
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?
Small tips have relatively low thermal mass, so you have to set the iron hotter to make the working end hot enough to melt solder. They have less surface area, so they hold less flux, and the flux burns off faster at higher temperatures. Then you get more oxidation of the solder on ...
The good thing about this station is that it works with the Aoyue and Hakko tips.) Micro Soldering Iron JBC Soldering Tools NASE-1C –$1,300 (This is what I use. If you have the budget, then don’t look any further.) Hakko FM-203 dual port soldering station with FM-2027 –$494...
With everything held in place, soldering is a breeze with a fine-tip soldering iron. The large surface-mount pads aren’t that much different than the soldering area of most through-hole components. Finer pitch surface-mount components (not used in this project) may get solder stuck between...
If you need to make custom tips for an iron that can take plain rod tips, I strongly recommend getting copper rod of the appropriate diameter. Logged uli12us Contributor Posts: 46 Country: Re: Soldering frustration « Reply #132 on: November 27, 2020, 02:18:55 am » After that,...
Step 1: The Iron First we need a desoldering iron. I bought mine for 4 EUROs or about US$6 from the local electronics shop. It is 40W and you can find the same at ebay. First we must disassemble our desoldering iron. It has a body, a yellow cylinder, a spring and a piston. ...
with normal soldering iron. It works, but I still think that hot air rework station - which one can find on ebay very cheap - allows to create professional results in a fast and easy way. It also allows easy removal and replacement of the components - try that with a soldering iron. ...
Soldering iron Hakko clone, the most popular are on eBay and Chinese websites (with thermocouple, not thermistor) 24V 2A power supply (I recommend SMPS, but you can use a transformer with a rectifier bridge) 10k potentiometer Electrical aviation style plug with 5 pins ...
I have Aoyue BGA 9000A workstation & a seperate iron Aoyue int2900, both share/use the same type of tips. As I said in this thread, I only use the int2900 to repair the workstation when it breaks down. int2900 can be seen here https://www.aoyue.eu/aoyue-int2900-...ring-station...
