Temperature Control Soldering Station SL-10

The electronic temperature control soldering station has been developed to meet the present & future needs of the electronics industry. It incorporates a sophisticated electronic circuit that enables the user to change the tip temperature from 300ºF (150ºC) to 790ºF (420ºC) without the need to change the tip or heating element. The temperature is maintained within ±10ºF of its preset temperature. This is made possible by a unique sensor that is located near the tip, resulting in rapid response & little temperature variation. The tip of the unit is isolated from the AC line by a transformer. Low voltage (24V) is utilized to power the heating element. Completely electronic switching protects voltage & current sensitive components against transient spikes sometimes caused by other units utilizing mechanical switching circuits. This unit incorporates a linear LED array readout that accurately indicates the temperature of the tip.

Working Temperature
Soldering at the correct temperature is very important to insure perfect solder connection. If the temperature is too low the solder will not flow correctly & will cause cold solder joints. If the temperature is too high the flux will be burned & not allowing the solder to flow. High temperature can also cause damage to the PC board & other sensitive components. When tip-working temperature is set within the correct parameters suited to the particular solder being used a good joint is assured. The most common solder alloys used in the electronics industry is 60% tin. 40% lead (60/40). A common tip working temperature of 60/40 solder is detailed below (this may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer).
