Samir, To correct some misconceptions on the answers to your question, and "what you know from experience": With both ENIG (Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold-IAu) and IAg (immersion silver), soldering does not take place to the gold or the silver. Wh

Hi Edri, this is not a race here. Are you curing some kind of glue on your board? THe shortest profile I ever ran is for AIM solder paste - about 4 minutes total. with speed 8m/min your profile is going to be 45 seconds and I don't think this is the

Personally I'd take a Metcal MX500 over a 130W JBC every day, and we had hundreds at the last place. However, here we have lots of JBC's, and my engineers and solderers swear by them. Both are good irons and like any you need to get your tip choice

I know they aren't cheap, but used properly, mine last quite a few months, and they work so well, that I am still in favour of them. Tips range in price, but our work buys in bulk, saving some money.

JBC is a great station (no doubt) - I've had the opportunity to use both. I suppose it depends on who is flipping the bill. Performance wise, the QUICK TS Series is nearly identical to the JBC Station and consumables are a fraction of the cost. Ch

I also live in NC (mainly in the winter) but I think we are giving too much time to this. Most product is made off shore these days anyway.

Black pad with IAg??? Tarnish is NOT black pad. Tarnish is usually just some silver sulfide on the surface and can also usually be soldered through, by using a little additional, or slightly more agressive, flux, and still make a good quality solder
