Soldering, desoldering, and rework products are essential tools for electronic assembly and repair. These tools enable precise heating and removal of solder joints to ensure reliable electrical connections. Their importance has grown with advancements in miniaturization, high-density PCB designs, and quality control requirements in modern manufacturing.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Conical Tips | Pointed geometry for precision heating | 0.4mm pitch SMD components |
| Chisel Tips | Wide contact area for heat distribution | Through-hole component soldering |
| Needle Tips | Ultra-fine tip for micro-soldering | Flip-chip bonding |
| Flat Nozzles | Uniform heating for multiple joints | BGA component rework |
| High-temp Nozzles | Special alloys for >400 C operations | Lead-free solder processing |
Typical products feature: - Heating element (ceramic PTC or nichrome coil) - Thermocouple for closed-loop temperature control - Iron-plated copper core with anti-oxidation coating - Modular interface (900M/900HT standard) - ESD-safe handle assembly
| Parameter | Significance |
|---|---|
| Temperature range (180-450 C) | Determines material compatibility |
| Thermal recovery rate ( C/s) | Affects productivity in high-volume work |
| Temperature stability ( 5 C) | Ensures process repeatability |
| Thermal conductivity (W/m K) | Impacts energy efficiency |
| Interchange cycle rating | Directly relates to tool longevity |
Primary industries: - Consumer electronics (smartphones, wearables) - Automotive electronics (ECUs, sensors) - Aerospace (avionics systems) - Medical devices (implantable equipment) - Industrial automation (PLCs) Case Example: Automotive radar systems use flat nozzles for simultaneous heating of 128 RF module connections.
