I'm not affiliated with JBC in any way, but I do agree you should take a look at them.

Take a look at Pace and Metcal both have quick recovery irons that are good for lead free applications. Also try a preheater to warm the boards prior to solder. D. David McGee Mfg. Eng. Gaston Electronics 704-822-5031 Phone dmcgee@gastonelectronics.

Has anyone tried a PS-800E made by OKi Metcal? I have been looking at them, it looks like a good Iron, but I would like to know how these are actually working in the field not just some sales pitch by someone getting a commision. Thanks, Wayne

We use JBC here. I like the response time of the iron tip. When soldering, the tip temperature does not drop as much as the Weller's we used to use. I like the ease of changing tip sizes. I dislike the cost of replacement elements. The tip and

I am partial to Weller for the small rework irons. I use both the WSL with WMP (current model) and some older EC1302 irons with their power supply (I forget the model, but the one with analog setting knob and digital temp readout). I actually prefe

I have looked at the JBC irons several months ago, and we will be getting a few of them for the people that do rework all day long, but for the general user around here all they are doing is touch-up and 500 bucks for an Iron for 50 people is a littl

Learning to solder through-hole components is an essential skill for any electronic professional.And basic soldering is easy to learn if you are building simple electronic circuits. Also the most common solder alloy used in electronics is 60% tin an

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

I like my JBC. I don't like the price of the tips, especially when you need 2 for the tweezers. The tips last a long time though. At one point JBC had a problem with the tweezer tips dieing early, but they appear to have fixed that problem. I also h
