How to clean the soldering iron head
Hand cleaning of soldering iron tips
1. When cleaning the soldering iron tip, excessive use of water on the sponge will cause the temperature of the soldering iron to drop rapidly, making it difficult for the solder slag to fall off. When the water is insufficient, the sponge will be burned off. The principle of cleaning: When there is an appropriate amount of water, the water will boil and fluctuate when the soldering iron tip comes into contact, achieving the purpose of cleaning.
2. The soldering iron tip must be evenly left with residual tin, which will bear some of the heat and ensure that the soldering iron tip is not oxidized by air, which is beneficial for extending the lifespan of the soldering iron. When the power is turned off without leaving any residual tin, the temperature gradually decreases and thermal oxidation occurs, reducing the lifespan of the soldering iron
Use a soldering iron tip cleaner
1. Cleaning the soldering iron tip is simple and convenient. Many cleaners have anti-static function (without grounding wire, 0 silent design saves energy and consumes only 5W of power (with AC adapter)
2. To prevent solder splashing, the internal sealed design can avoid solder splashing everywhere when cleaning the soldering iron tip, effectively reducing the production scrap rate; All cleaning actions are sealed internally to prevent solder splashing.
3. Reduce the temperature drop of the soldering iron tip by using a cleaning brush without adding water. During cleaning, it can reduce the temperature drop of the soldering tip and maintain high work efficiency of the soldering iron tip.
Cleaning a soldering iron tip is a simple but difficult task to persist in, which requires developing good habits. Only in this way can our soldering iron tips be better used and have a longer lifespan!
