A hot air gun or hot air station is used to heat devices and melt solder, and specialised tools are used to pick up and position often tiny components. A rework station is a place to do this work—the tools and supplies for this work, typically on a workbench. Other kinds of rework require other tools. [1]
Different tools are used for different applications and soldering stations may be equipped with more than one of them at a time. The main tools for soldering are: contact soldering irons; desoldering tweezers or SMD hot tweezers; desoldering gun; hot air gun; infrared heater. Soldering iron is the most common working tool of a soldering station.
Heating may be accomplished by passing the assembly through a reflow oven, under an infrared lamp, or (mainly for prototyping) by soldering individual joints with a hot air pencil. Reflow soldering with long industrial convection ovens is the preferred method of soldering surface mount technology (SMT) components to a printed circuit board (PCB ...
Anything with a base unit with provision to maintain a stable temperature, pump air in either direction, etc., is often called a "station" (preceded by rework, soldering, desoldering, hot air); one, or sometimes more, tools may be connected to a station, e.g., a rework station may accommodate a soldering iron and hot air head. A soldering iron ...
A soldering station has a temperature control and consists of an electrical power supply, control circuitry with provision for user adjustment of temperature and display, and a soldering iron or soldering head with a tip temperature sensor. The station will normally have a stand for the hot iron when not in use, and a wet sponge for cleaning.
The Cocoon by Sealy is an excellent cooling mattress ideal for sleepers who run hot or live in warmer climates. The Cocoon Chill usually costs over $1,000, but during Black Friday, it's down to ...
A nutrition and longevity researcher said he uses science to make his holidays fun and healthy. He focuses on building muscle to take advantage of big meals for better gains.
Hand soldering is typically performed with a soldering iron, soldering gun, or a torch, or occasionally a hot-air pencil. Sheetmetal work was traditionally done with "soldering coppers" directly heated by a flame, with sufficient stored heat in the mass of the soldering copper to complete a joint; gas torches (e.g. butane or propane) or ...
