A soldering station is a multipurpose power soldering device designed for electronic components soldering. This type of equipment is mostly used in electronics and electrical engineering . Soldering station consists of one or more soldering tools connected to the main unit, which includes the controls (temperature adjustment), means of ...
Desoldering with a desoldering gun. Desoldering tools and materials include the following: Solder wick; Heat guns, also called hot air guns; Desoldering pump; Removal alloys; Removal fluxes; Heated soldering tweezers; Various picks and tweezers for tasks such as pulling at, holding, removing, and scraping components.
A soldering station has a temperature control and consists of an electrical power supply, control circuitry with provision for user adjustment of temperature and display, and a soldering iron or soldering head with a tip temperature sensor. The station will normally have a stand for the hot iron when not in use, and a wet sponge for cleaning.
A hot air gun or hot air station is used to heat devices and melt solder, and specialised tools are used to pick up and position often tiny components. A rework station is a place to do this work—the tools and supplies for this work, typically on a workbench. Other kinds of rework require other tools. [1]
A ColdHeat soldering iron. ColdHeat was an American company founded to develop and market products using the proprietary graphite-like compound Athalite.The composite material is claimed by the manufacturer to have the unusual ability to conduct large amounts of heat and return to room temperature in a short amount of time.
Resistance soldering is soldering in which the heat required to melt the solder is created by passing an electric current through the parts to be soldered. When electric current is conducted through any metal, heat is generated; when that current is confined to a smaller cross-sectional area, the heat produced in the entire circuit is ...
Reflow soldering is a process in which a solder paste (a sticky mixture of powdered solder and flux) is used to temporarily attach anywhere from one to thousands of tiny electrical components to their contact pads, after which the entire assembly is subjected to controlled heat. The solder paste reflows in a molten state, creating permanent ...
Ultrasonic soldering iron tips can heat (up to 450 °C) while mechanically oscillating at 20—60 kHz. This soldering tip can melt solder filler metals as acoustic vibrations are induced in the molten solder pool. The vibration and cavitation in the molten solder then permits solders to wet and adhere to many metal surfaces.
