A 10 Watt Soldering Iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt the solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current through a resistive heating element.Some soldering irons heat up and cool down in a few seconds, while others may take several minutes.
Technique:
Basic solder techniques apply to low-temperature soldering. Pre-heating and tinning the parts with a small amount of solder helps to keep temperatures low during the joining process. Cleaning the solder iron tip with a light rub of the iron tip against a sponge slightly dampened with water keeps excess solder and contaminants away. A well-lit work area and easy access to the work surface allow dexterity and prevent fatigue. Practicing your soldering technique on junk components before doing actual work will help hone your skills, and allow you to enjoy the satisfaction of a job done right when it counts.
Temperature:
if you are going to be doing a lot you may want to consider a variable temperature soldering iron. Some of these simply have a boost button on the handle, which is useful with larger joints, others have a thermostatic control so you can vary the heat of the tip.
If you have a temperature controlled iron you should start at about 315-345°C (600-650°F).Use a temperature that will allow you to complete a joint in 1 to 3 seconds
Features:
- Technically advanced cartridge type heating element.
