2. A soldering iron tip that has a good path to transmit heat to the solder joints
should be selected. A soldering iron tip with a shorter length can be controlled
more precisely. For the soldering of densely assembled circuit boards, a longer
or angled soldering iron tip may be selected.
1. After the temperature is stable, clean the soldering iron tip with a cleaning
sponge and check the condition of the soldering iron tip.
2. If the tin-plated part of the soldering iron tip contains black oxide, a new tin
layer can be plated, and then wipe the soldering iron tip with a cleaning
sponge. This cleaning is repeated until the oxide is completely removed, and
then a new layer of tin is applied. Scrub the tip on a dry or dirty sponge or cloth
(a clean, moist industrial-grade and sulfur-containing sponge should be used).
● Soldering iron tip temperature If the temperature is too high, it will shorten
the life of the soldering iron tip, so you should choose the lowest possible
temperature.
temperature. At this time, the temperature of the soldering iron tip has recov-
ered well, and the appropriate temperature can Soldering is sufficient, and it
also protects temperature-sensitive components.
● Cleaning
The tip of the soldering iron should be cleaned regularly with a cleaning
sponge. After soldering, the soldering iron Residual flux-derived oxides and
carbides in the head damage the solder iron tip, causing welding errors, or
reducing the thermal conductivity of the soldering iron tip retreat. When using
the soldering station continuously for a long time, the soldering station should
be disassembled once a week ，The iron tip removes oxides to
prevent damage to the tip and reduce the temperature.
● When not in use
When the soldering station is not in use, do not allow the soldering station to
be in a high temperature state for a long time.It will convert the flux on the
soldering iron tip into oxides, causing the soldering iron tip，The thermal
conductivity is greatly reduced.
● After use
After use, the tip of the soldering iron should be wiped clean, and a new layer
of tin should be applied to prevent the soldering station Head causes oxidation.
Use of soldering iron tips
Maintenance of soldering iron tips
● Inspect and clean the tip of the soldering iron
The solder or iron plating is impure, or the soldering surface is not clean
1. Remove the tip from the soldering station handle after the tip has cooled.
2. Use 80# polyurethane grinding foam to set the temperature to 250 degrees
Celsius.
