The iron of my choice would be the Hakko iron. They have a double plating on their tips. The cost is relatively low and have a digital read out. They can also be locked out so that the temperatures can't be reset by the operators. This is the onl

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan

You are going to struggle with that sort of connector - the only pin headers that seem to have widespread sucess are the dual inline ones with bent over j leads that sit on the board. They come with a plastic hat that allows vacuum pick up. However

Ersa Versaflow has a nozzle we use for soldering 70 pin connectors, with smt parts 3mm from the leads. As far as soldering through hole (without the tight SMT parts)It's reliable, easy to program and very good quality joints. Your advantages are spee

They are expensive so you need to have a lot of jobs that take a long time to hand solder or have a ton of masking. Also look at bottom side wave soldering, if you are having a lot of defects, the selective will allow you to solder both sides in surf

We bought the lead free pots for the Ersa machine and change back and forth. We had a lot of problems running SAC305 in the Ersa. It seems to create a ton of dross and you need to frequently clean and flux the nozzles. I would really like some feed
