Features
•
electronic temperature control
•
password lock
•
sensor and heater fail notification
•
LED display with digital temperature scale (°C or °F)
•
with on/off switch
•
ceramic heating element with temperature sensor
•
HEATER/SENSOR FAILED DETECTION: if the sensor circuit fails, the display reads “S--E” and heater
power is cut. If heater circuit fails the display will read “H--E” and heater power is cut.
•
TEMPERATUE “LOCK-OUT” FEATURE: the temperature can be locked with a password which might be
useful in a production line.
•
ESD SAFE AND SPIKE FREE CIRCUITRY: the “Zero Voltage” electronic switching design also protects
voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS devices, etc.) against overcurrent and transient
voltage spikes.
•
LIGHTWEIGHT SOLDERING IRON: ergonomic mini handle that stays cool and prevents operator
fatigue.
•
isolated power supply: high-quality 32Vac transformer designed for lead-free soldering

Description
•
This soldering station is designed to meet the present and future needs of the electronic production
industry. The
VTSSD72
is engineered to meet the stringent demands of hobbyists, maintenance
personnel and production people alike.
•
A high-quality sensor and heat transfer technology ensure precise temperature regulation which is
essential for making consistent, reliable soldered connections.
•
The aluminium alloy housing has several advantages: strong, good heat sink and very resistant to
electro-magnetic interference.
•
The
VTSSD72
s’ electronic circuitry enables the user to set soldering temperatures between 200 and
480°C (392 to 896°F) without having to replace the tip or the heating element. For tweezers, max.
temperature is slightly lower: 430~450°C (806~842°F). The temperature is maintained to within
±3°C (± 6°F) of the normal operating temperature by a thermocouple sensor placed in the head of
the heating element. The 80W power results in a rapid heat-up and fast recovery.
•
The revolutionary "zero voltage" switching design also protects voltage- and current-sensitive
components (CMOS devices, etc.) against the damaging current and transient voltage spikes
commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations. The heating elements are
galvanically isolated from the electrical supply by an isolating transformer that prevents the system
from using a max. tension higher than a (safe) 32VAC.
