Four treatment methods for burning the electric soldering iron tip to death

 

1. First, wipe with a soldering iron cleaner, then repeatedly apply tin and sponge to make it clear a few times, and it will become shiny.


2. First, adjust the temperature to 300 ° C, clean the solder joints with a cleaning sponge, and check the condition of the solder joints. If the tin plating layer of the soldering nozzle contains color oxides.


3. Plate a new tin layer and then clean the solder joints with a cleaning sponge. Repeat the cleaning process until the oxide is completely removed, and then apply a new tin layer.


4. Wipe with toothpaste or polishing paste, using light force.


Methods to prevent electric soldering iron heads from burning to death


1. Intermittent electrification method
According to the degree of wear and tear of an electric soldering iron, it generally starts to burn out after being continuously powered on for 15-30 minutes. Therefore, if an electric soldering iron is continuously powered on for 15 minutes, it is necessary to disconnect the power supply for 3-5 minutes and then connect the power supply.


2. Cooling method
Using a self-made cooling bracket to cool the soldering iron head can prevent the phenomenon of "burning to death".
The method of making a cooling bracket is to take a waste metal pen tube, cut off two-thirds of the empty can (metal shell) with scissors, clip the waste pen tube into the can with an iron clip, and then inject two-thirds of the capacity of water into the can. A soldering iron cooling bracket is ready. Inserting the tip of the electric soldering iron into the pen holder can keep the soldering iron energized for a long time without causing "burning" phenomenon.
