Comparison of the advantages of soldering stations and soldering irons
1. Efficiency comparison, the efficiency of constant temperature soldering station is relatively high, the thermal efficiency can reach about 80%, and the thermal efficiency of electric soldering iron is generally good at 50%;
2. Compared with energy consumption, the energy consumption of constant temperature soldering stations is relatively low, because when it reaches the adjusted temperature, it no longer heats up, and the corresponding energy consumption is lower. In other words, for the same welding effect, the soldering station uses less electricity;
3. Comparing the temperature recovery, the temperature recovery speed of the soldering station is faster, and the corresponding worker's work efficiency is higher;
4. Comparing the lifespan of consumables, the temperature of the soldering station is controlled and will not rise indefinitely. Therefore, the lifespan of the soldering iron tip and the heating core are higher;
5. For safety comparison, the voltage of the handle of the soldering station is only 24 volts AC, which is a safe voltage and generally there will be no electric shock;
6. In terms of anti-static, the soldering station has the function of eliminating static electricity, but the soldering iron generally does not.
7. The soldering station has a power switch. Turn it on when it is in use and turn it off when not in use. It is simpler than turning on a TV, as simple as turning on and off a light.
8. There is an indicator light. If you forget to turn off the soldering station, you can tell at a glance whether the soldering station is still working from a few meters away.
9. It has constant temperature and temperature adjustment functions. The soldering iron tip is not easy to burn and has a long service life.
10. Temperature recovery is relatively fast. There is no problem in desoldering the electrolytic capacitors on the computer motherboard. A soldering station can be used as a 30W soldering iron or a 60W soldering iron.
I once compared the efficiency of replacing motherboard capacitors with a 40W external thermoelectric soldering iron and an imitation 936 soldering station. It took 1.5 hours with a 30W soldering iron and almost damaged the motherboard. Using the 936 soldering station, it only took ten minutes to replace the new capacitors, a total of 21 capacitors.
Use a pointed round tip soldering iron tip to remove the motherboard capacitor, and install the capacitor on a large area of copper.
1. Overlay two solder joints with new tin and melt the solder joints at the same time. Wait for more than ten seconds to allow the PCB board to heat up.
2. Use your other hand to gently shake and pull out the capacitor.
3. If the soldering hole is large enough, use a pointed round soldering iron tip to pierce the soldering hole, and then pull it out to bring out most of the solder.
4. Use a toothpick to make holes.
5. Solder the new capacitor. If you feel that the temperature is not rising enough, you may use the measuring surface of the soldering iron to solder.
