Soldering gun Soldering gun's parts Spool of solder. 1.6mm. A soldering gun is an approximately pistol-shaped, electrically powered tool for soldering metals using tin-based solder to achieve a strong mechanical bond with good electrical contact. The tool has a trigger-style switch so it can be easily operated with one hand.
In 1946, Carl E. Weller applied for a patent for his soldering gun that could heat instantaneously and began production of the "Speedy Iron" in Pennsylvania. [12] It was manufactured through the Weller Manufacturing Company, and this product was the first instantaneous thermal soldering gun.
A soldering station is a multipurpose power soldering device designed for electronic components soldering. This type of equipment is mostly used in electronics and electrical engineering . Soldering station consists of one or more soldering tools connected to the main unit, which includes the controls (temperature adjustment), means of ...
The component is removed while the solder is molten, most easily by a spring-loaded puller attached to it before heating. Otherwise all joints must be freed from solder before the component can be removed. Each joint must be heated and the solder removed from it while molten using a vacuum pump, manual desoldering pump, or desoldering braid.
Carl E. Weller, American, patented a soldering gun, formed the Weller Manufacturing Company; Craig Weller (born 1981), Canadian ice hockey player; Dieter Weller, American engineer; Don Weller (musician) (1940–2020), British tenor saxophonist; Don Weller (painter), American illustrator and painter
Hot-bar reflow is a selective soldering process where two pre-fluxed, solder coated parts are heated with a heating element (called a thermode) to a temperature sufficient to melt the solder. Pressure is applied through the entire process (usually 15 seconds) to ensure that components stay in place during cooling.
Soldering guns provide a trigger to quickly turn the heat on and off. That's a difference big enough to justify keeping the articles separate. Shootthedevgru 03:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC) They tools aren't used for the same things. Soldering guns are generally a lot hotter than soldering irons and thus aren't used for electronics. I suggest ...
A ColdHeat soldering iron. ColdHeat was an American company founded to develop and market products using the proprietary graphite-like compound Athalite.The composite material is claimed by the manufacturer to have the unusual ability to conduct large amounts of heat and return to room temperature in a short amount of time.
