This is what is referred to as a butterfly product connectors on both sides we are experimenting with different production techniques but we are currently having to hand solder these parts. Today however we are needing a solution to fit an iron in a

Hello All, Has anyone tested the effectiveness of any process to remove lead from tinned soldering irons to RoHS acceptable levels? We have been dedicating new tips for RoHS assembly, but as our RoHS product line increases it will be important

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

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.

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

JBC Tools has a wire solder feed solder iron. You can control how much is dispensed to the tip. I have sold several of these to customers soldering wires in to terminals. The hand piece is bigger than the typical solder iron but it beats the alter

We have used JBC soldering stations many years without any major problems. Handpiece is lightweight and comfortable to use. Tips are bit expensive but worth of money. Go Nano for 0402 and smaller and HD for massive part soldering. JBC CD-2BB Solderi

In general, it depends on what you're working on. Boards with a higher thermal profile might require higher temps. But...the usual answer is...set your irons to the lowest temperature possible that still achieves the goal. We usually keep our ir
