3. TIP TEMPERATURE: Use the lowest tip temperature which will
achieve rapid yet controllable melt of the entire joint(s). Begin with a
temperature of 316°C (600°F) and adjust as necessary to suit the
particular application and operator skill level. Lower tip temperatures
reduce the risk of damage and increase tip life.
4. SMT REMOVAL: Tips for SMT removal
applications must fit over (or around) the
component body, and contact all the solder
joints at once. When all the solder joints
reflow completely, remove the component.
5. SODR-PEN HANDPIECES: The SP-2A Sodr-Pen (comes standard
with your ST 20A-SP system) uses 3/16" shank tips providing maximum
heat transfer for Surface Mount and multilayer board applications.
The optional SP-1A Sodr-Pen uses 1/8" shank tips and features a slimmer,
more compact heater for easier access on densely populated assemblies.
