Soldering Tools and Materials

Soldering tools and materials are the soldering irons, soldering iron tips, solder pastes and auxiliary chemicals used to join two metal surfaces with a filler alloy that melts at a lower temperature. They are used in electronics service shops, panel and wiring workshops, device repair and hobby electronics to permanently connect conductor ends and component leads. The subgroups include Class 30 W, 40 W and 60 W pencil soldering irons and their spare tips, Soldex, Felder and Hawcon solder pastes, silicone heat transfer pastes and cleaning products for soldering iron tips. Choose the soldering iron by a power rating suited to the size of the part to be soldered, the spare tips by their compatibility with the iron model, and the paste by the type of job and the package quantity. Heat transfer paste does not solder; it is a separate material applied to improve heat transfer between a power semiconductor and a heatsink.
