New high quality adjustable temperature soldering iron heater

Overview of the Soldering iron heater

The soldering iron heater is the core component of a soldering iron, mainly through the conversion of electrical energy into heat to work. Its common types are internal and external heat: internal heating is fast, high efficiency, the heating core is located inside the iron head; external heat structure is simple, durable, the iron head is set in the heating body outside. The material of the soldering iron heater is mostly made of nickel-chromium alloy wire wound with high resistivity and high temperature resistance, and wrapped with insulating and high temperature resistant material outside. Soldering iron heater is widely used in electronic repair, circuit board welding and other fields. The use of temperature control should be attention to avoid overheating damage to the components is an indispensable tool for electronic production.

Features of the Soldering iron heater

In the heating efficiency and temperature control, endothermic heater through the internal heating core directly on the iron head heat transfer, heating speed is very fast, usually 1 – 3 minutes to reach 200 – 450 ℃ working temperature, suitable for the high efficiency requirements of the scene; external heaters by virtue of the external heating body wrapped in the design of the iron head, although a little slower to warm up (5 – 8 minutes). Still, the thermostatic properties of the stability of the iron head to meet the needs of a long time welding, and most of the modern heaters are equipped with temperature control. The majority of modern heaters are equipped with temperature control. Although the temperature rise is a little slower (5 – 8 minutes), the constant temperature is stable and can meet the demand of long time soldering, and most of the modern heaters are equipped with temperature control module, which can adjust the temperature accurately according to the material of the solder to avoid the components from being damaged due to overheating or false soldering.

Structural design, endothermic heater compact and lightweight, low heat loss, but the heating core is easy due to frequent use or high-temperature oxidation damage, relatively short life; external heaters using ceramic or mica insulation wrapped in nickel-chromium alloy wire heater, and the soldering iron head separated from the structure so that it is more durable, life expectancy of up to hundreds of hours, the outside is often wrapped in high-temperature silicone, ceramics and other insulation, both anti-scalding and protection of the insulation safety. Insulation safety.

Energy consumption and applicability, endothermic heater power for more than 20 – 60W, external heat more than 60 – 150W, combined with temperature control technology can reduce energy consumption, and different types of different scenarios, such as endothermic or thermostatic soldering station suitable for precision electronic maintenance, external heat or high-power type suitable for industrial production, anti-static type can avoid static breakdown of sensitive components.

Maintenance and economy, its iron tip and heat core more support for individual replacement, reducing the cost of use, internal heat type price friendly for novice, external heat type and constant temperature soldering station, although the initial cost is higher, but the long-term use of more economical, especially suitable for professional scenarios.

Applications of the Soldering iron heater

Soldering iron heater plays a key role in the field of electronics, industry, scientific research and handicrafts, and is the core tool to realize the precision connection.

In electronic manufacturing and maintenance, soldering iron heater is the “soul” of the circuit board welding – endothermic heater by virtue of the rapid warming characteristics, commonly used in cell phone motherboards, laptops and other micro-components of the soldering and disassembly, with the suction of the tin can be accurately replaced chips, Capacitors and other devices; external heat or high-power models are suitable for industrial circuit boards to deal with large-area solder joints, such as power supply modules, connectors welding, in the automotive electronics harness, home appliance line maintenance, but also can reliably connect wires and terminals.

Scientific research and laboratory scenarios, soldering iron heater is a powerful assistant for prototype development, researchers can use it to manually weld sensor modules, small circuit systems, for microelectronics research in the MEMS device or chip packaging, high-precision heaters can achieve micron-level wires and chip pins micro-welding to help explore the welding process of new materials. In the industrial field, it is more widely used: jewelry processing, small heaters with fine tip can be welded with tiny parts of gold and silver jewelry; hardware maintenance, high-power external heaters can be competent in stainless steel mesh, metal pipe welding; aerospace field requires anti-static, thermostatic heater, in order to meet the demanding requirements of spacecraft circuit boards of high-reliability welding.

In the handmade and educational scenes, the soldering iron heater is the “partner” of DIY enthusiasts, which is used for the welding of components of electronic projects such as intelligent cars, Arduino expansion boards, etc. It is also the basic teaching tool of the school’s electronic technology courses to help students master the principles of soldering and the safe operation norms.

From micron chip to large metal components, soldering iron heater to temperature control as the core, continue to show irreplaceable value in precision manufacturing, maintenance and innovation practices, with the development of technology, intelligent, low energy consumption of the new heater will be further expanded in the semiconductor, new energy and other cutting-edge areas of application.

5 FAQs of Soldering Iron Heater

Q1: What is the difference between an internal and an external soldering iron?

Endothermic soldering irons are fast (1-3 minutes) and small in size, suitable for precision soldering (e.g. cell phone motherboards), but the heating core is easy to oxidize and has a shorter lifespan; externally heated soldering irons are slower to heat (5-8 minutes) but have good thermostat and high power (up to 300W) and are suitable for industrial-grade soldering joints or metal soldering. Thermostatic soldering stations (such as the 936 series) combine the advantages of both, with precise temperature control and anti-static protection, suitable for professional scenarios.

Q2: How do I choose the power of my soldering iron?

Small components (e.g., resistors, capacitors) recommend 20- 60W internal heat; industrial soldering joints or metal soldering need more than 60W external heat; precision repairs recommend a constant temperature soldering station (e.g., 60- 150W). Insufficient power will lead to the solder not melting, and too high is easy to damage the components.

Q3: What are the advantages of a thermostatic soldering station compared with an ordinary soldering iron?

Constant temperature soldering station can accurately control the temperature (± 5 ℃), back to the temperature quickly, energy saving and extend the life of the iron head; support for anti-static function, to avoid penetration of the sensitive chip; part of the model has a dormant, password locking and other intelligent features, suitable for high-demanding scenarios.

Q4: What safety matters do I need to pay attention to when using a soldering iron?

Grounding protection: Use a three-wire plug to ensure that the shell is grounded. :Anti-scald: Place it on the soldering iron stand when not in use and avoid touching the high-temperature part. Ventilation and smoke exhaust: Keep the air circulating when soldering, and use smoke exhaust equipment to reduce smoke inhalation. Regular inspection: Use a multimeter to test the insulation of the power cord to avoid the risk of leakage.

Q5: How to solder chip resistors and other precision components?

Use a pointed soldering iron tip (e.g. 0.5mm), set the temperature at 260-350°C, and the soldering time at 1-2 seconds; first pre-coat a small amount of solder on the pad, and then use the tip of the soldering iron to lightly touch the component pins and pads, to ensure that the amount of tin is appropriate.
