I love my Pace ST-30. Not too expensive and works a charm. Tips are also reasonable at $6-$15.

Dave, Thanks for your responce. I think I can manage to solder components by hand. But I am trying to find out an alternative way to solder them. The distance between leads becomes very small and if solder gets in between them I will have hard times

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

The minimum vertical hole fill is defined as follows: Class 1: Not specified, with a 270-degree circumferential fillet and wetting on the secondary (solder source side) of lead and barrel, and a 75% coverage of the land area on the secondary side. Cl

If your using regular 63/37 Sn/Pb solder there are alot of other metals such as Antimony,Nickel,Iron,Cadmium,Aluminum,Copper,Gold,Bismuth,to name a few. But you need a certain amount of these metals for proper solder composition. Regarding the Antimo

Hi all, I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wave solder
