When soldering, sometimes the need arises to control the temperature of the soldering iron. It is not possible to change the solder iron every time. If you’re just soldering small resistors and ICs, ...

Another cause of soldering heat damage is using inadequate tools and equipment. This can include using a cheap or defective soldering iron, a dirty or worn-out tip, a low-quality or incompatible ...

This bonding metal, usually tin and lead, is called "solder." It comes as wire on a spool, heated to its melting point by an electric tool called a soldering iron (or soldering gun).

The iron uses a patented tip-heater cartridge which can be changed in seconds without tools and most tips heat up within 10 seconds. Over 100 soldering tip geometries are available as well as over 30 ...

A dirty soldering iron tip can cause several problems, such as poor heat transfer, solder bridges, cold joints, and damage to the components. A dirty tip can also reduce the effectiveness of the ...

Soldering pin headers by hand is a tedious task, especially when your project has a huge number of them. [iforce2d] has a large number of boards with a lot of headers, and has created a rather spec… ...

Modify the de-soldering iron The tip of the iron needs a little bit of work to efficiently heat the air flow. We lightly pinched the tip of the tip with our vice.

Steel wire, screwdrivers, nails, and Alan wrenches are all potential tools for your emergency soldering. Just heat your wire or other steel tool over some open flame for 20-30 seconds and then ...

Cold Heat uses Athalite, a patented, resistive, composite material with the ability to reach temperatures of 800 degrees Fahrenheit in seconds -- then cool back down to room temperature in seconds.

First soldering irons are often of the Radioshack or Maplin firestarter variety. They’re basically wall power shorted across a nichrome heater or similar with some inline resistance to make it ...

A solder seal butt connector for 10-12 gauge wire. Solder seal butt connectors are made of a clear, heat shrink tube, with a low temperature solder ring in the middle.
