Soldering Station Parts
handle
The handle consists of insulating material, heating core and soldering iron tip.
soldering iron tip
The soldering iron head is the heat-conducting component of the soldering station, which is mainly composed of four metal materials: copper, iron, nickel, chromium, and tin.
Copper - As a heat conductor, it is the main component of the soldering iron tip. It accounts for about 85% of the material of the soldering iron head. The thermal conductivity of copper is good, which is conducive to the rapid heating of the soldering iron head. Good soldering iron heads are made of red copper, but some manufacturers use brass, in order to reduce the cost and reduce the cost of the soldering iron. thermal conductivity of the head.
Iron - plays the role of anti-corrosion and is a key factor affecting the service life of the soldering iron tip. A good soldering iron tip has a fine and dense crystal structure of the iron-plated layer, and has good corrosion resistance. Such a soldering iron tip has a long service life and good tinning effect. Manufacturers with poor iron plating technology mainly rely on the thickness of the iron plating layer to control the service life of the soldering iron tip. Usually, the iron plating layer is thick and the soldering iron tip cannot be tinned, and the soldering iron head is not durable if it is thin.
Nickel - acts as an iron layer to prevent rust and facilitates chrome plating on the back.
Chromium - non-stick tin, preventing tin from running on the body of the soldering iron head when in use. Generally, the chrome plating time of the soldering iron head is more than 5 minutes, and the ordinary decorative chrome plating is about 1 minute.
Tin - on the head, where tin is used.
This is the composition of the soldering iron tip material, and it is indispensable.
soldering iron stand
Soldering iron stands are used to temporarily hold the handle away from flammable materials. Soldering iron stands usually come with a fibrous sponge to clean the tip of the soldering iron.
