One reason why commercial soldering stations are expensive is that, in general, they require the use of soldering irons with inbuilt temperature sensors, such as thermocouples. A soldering iron that’s ...

We’re all used to temperature controlled soldering irons, and most of us will have one in some form or other as our soldering tool of choice. In many cases our irons will be microprocessor controlled, ...

Over the past few years a new class of soldering iron has arisen: a temperature controlled iron no longer tied to a bulky mains-powered base station, but using low-voltage DC power and with all ...

One way you can control the temperature of a soldering iron is with a microcontroller, using temperature feedback from the thermistor in the handle near the iron's tip. This Design Idea presents a ...

Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in ...

Soldering can be an art form, but let’s face it—it’s also a task that demands precision, patience, and the right soldering iron. Whether you’re a seasoned professional working on intricate electronics ...

The quality of the soldering has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of the PCB. Through soldering, different parts of the PCB are connected to other electrical components to make a PCB ...
