What is the process for calibrating a soldering iron and/or station? What tools are needed, and how do i go about it? Thanks

Ed,,You need a temp gauge to verify tip temp and if it's a digital control iron and it's off usually just junk it. If dial control you can loosen knob and adjust to reading.If you need to know type of gauge and manufacturer drop me a line

It depends on the type of iron. Some of ours have a little plug you pull out that exposes a pot that you tweak to make the temperature of the tip the same as the reading. Others can't be adjusted and the heating element must be replaced if they don't

| Hello all, | | Been doing some comparisons on joints made using the soldering iron versus reflowed solder paste (on a QFP package). The difference is quite significant: the joints made by the soldering iron are inconsistent and in many cases not

Sorry, but I don't have a quick and easy answer. Before jumping the 'black pad shark,' tell us more about your boards ... * Is the gold still on the pads after soldering? * Can you make the pads take solder using a soldering iron? * Does this happen

Can anyone tell me if the Metcal SP200 solder station meets the J-STD-001 Rev E requirement of holding a tip temp of +/-9F at rest? I am in a fight with an auditor over this. These irons do not require calibration but I need to know if they meet J-ST
