How to make my soldering iron hotter. Heres the ballpark temperatures I use note that I am by no means an expert so Im sure someone will come along and correct me. Can I modify my 120v 30a soldering iron to be hotter. Then place the iron where the two metal components meet for one second.
It is just much easier to control the heat where as a regular 30W pen type soldering iron is just on or offnot temp control. In this case soldering iron coil wire will. Maybe 250 degrees Celsius is enough.
Use sulfur-free sponges made specifically for soldering as regular sponges will not remove the solder as efficiently. 450-550ºF - typical soldering most through-hole stuff. The carbongraphite tips touch the solder to bridge the electrical connection and force the heat to melt it.
400-500ºF - small components. And we have an adjustable soldering iron that we can use to set the. Results at 650F 700F.
There are mainly 2 Components inside soldering iron. You can use your fingers to put the new tip on but will need the plyers again to tighten the nut. Irons will not get that hot.
Anything bigger such as thick wires or screens on metal jack plugs and I put in a bigger tip and turn the temperature up to 370C. Then dip into the tin of tinner cleaner with a slight twisting action. Whether its your childs electrical toys or circuit boards in a production facility that you solder the wise thing to do after unboxing a new soldering iron is to tin its tip to protect it from oxidation.
