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 ...

Soldering uses alloys that melt below 840°F to join metals. Molten solder fills the space between surfaces to be joined, adheres to the surfaces, and solidifies. Typical soldering steps include: ...

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 ...

Winbond Electronics, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, has announced that its Flash Memory products will now support the low temperature soldering (LTS) process. This process reduces ...
