25w Fine Tip Soldering Iron - Electronic Circuits Wires & Mains Repairs/Brazing 230v

Product Information

Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for electronics and electrical engineering professionals, students, and enthusiasts. For example, an unlock code for john's phone would not work on jane's phone, because the 2 phones have different imei numbers. This product carries a full 1 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables. In this guide, we will look at some of the many different uses of soldering irons, weigh up the pros and cons of the various equipment and accessory types available, and explore which sorts of soldering kits might be best used for specific tasks or applications.

If your parcel seems like it's going to be delayed, please get in touch with us, we are always here to help. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.This method will require additional safety wear and is not suitable for applications involving delicate components, so it should only be used if no alternatives are available. Available as both a battery powered cordless tool or a mains-operated device they are often used by plumbers to solder copper pipes. Once we have verified the fault, we will conduct a repair, or issue a replacement, or full refund to you via your original payment method.

The end of a bevel or hoof soldering tip is cut off at an angle, such that the available surface area is actually larger than the diameter of the bit itself. Where a product develops a fault outside its manufacture warranty timescale, we will try to help by offering a chargeable repair if possible, or if not possible you would need to purchase the replacement item at the current value. There are numerous reasons why you might need to desolder an existing bond between components or workpieces.

The most obvious difference between soldering stations and soldering irons is that they usually provide the ability to dial in a range of specific temperatures, rather than just one fixed heat setting as you will tend to have with a standalone tool. For best results, it is generally recommended to also make regular use of an iron brush or a solder iron cleaning sponge.

For certain specific electronics applications - most commonly when working on attaching smaller conductive components to PCBs - you may find it helpful to use soldering paste instead of a traditional coiled solder wire material. I have a very fine PCB (illustrated in an answer to Soldering with a delicate looking board) but I have discovered that the screwdriver like tip I have seems to be too clumsy to clear solder from so tiny a hole. Many models of soldering iron can accommodate a variety of removable soldering tips, sometimes referred to as bits. A soldering iron is the primary piece of hand-held equipment used in the process of soldering, wherein a small quantity of fusible metal alloy - known as solder - is heated to a high temperature with the tip of the iron. Some more advanced models of iron will include an adjustable temperature feature, offering enhanced control and greater compatibility with a range of different solder types.This helps to deliver more heat and deposit solder more evenly across larger areas, such as component leads and pads. There are many different types of soldering equipment and kits available to both hobbyist and professional users alike, ranging from basic fixed tools to a wide range of interchangeable add-ons, extras and accessories. Tool temperature is critical, as the soldering iron must get hot enough to melt the solder to a liquid state, but without melting or damaging the components. In other words, it means to remove solder from an existing join, whether for complete disassembly or simply as the first step in improving a weak bond during everyday troubleshooting applications. Obviously not a MetCal, but for the money much much better than the typical 30 or 40w soldering iron used by so many hobbyists.

The easiest way to clean soldering iron tips is simply to manually wipe off any build-up of debris from previous sessions - examine the tips for any residual bits of solder and carbon. T39 Composite Tip design includes the sensor within the tip allowing for faster more accurate thermal adjustments and greater stability. The mains cable is held by a cable clamping screw which eliminates the strain on the electrical connections.

In short, a soldering station tends to form the basis of a slightly more advanced and professional setup. Please complete the purchase (or remove the quote – don't worry it's still available in My Account) before adding these additional items. Solder paste is generally available in a range of different grades (Type 1 to Type 8), where higher-numbered grades indicate a finer grinding of solder material suspended in the flux medium.
