Setting the temperature
NOTE
►
Fault-free soldering requires the use of appropriate solders .
Furthermore, it is not possible to make perfect soldered joints
unless the correct soldering temperature is used . If the soldering
temperature is too low, the solder is not sufficiently fluid and
causes dirty solder joints (so-called cold solder joints) . If the
soldering temperature is too high, the soldering agent can burn
and the solder does not flow . In addition, the materials to be
processed can be destroyed .
Use the temperature settings below for the most common applica-
tions . These may vary depending on the solder/manufacturer .
―
200°C melting point of the most frequently used soft solders .
―
300°C normal operation, e .g . when using lead-free solder .
―
400°C high soldering temperature, e .g . for de-soldering small
solder joints .
―
450°C maximum soldering temperature, e .g . for de-soldering
larger solder joints .
