Operating Temperature
The most common soldering alloys used in the electronics industry consist of 60 % tin and 40 % lead.
The operating temperature of this type of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. However, to meet RoHS requirements, these solders are no longer allowed and are
replaced by lead-free solders that require a working temperature which is ± 30 °C (54 °F) higher.
leaded solder
lead-free solder
Melting point
215 °C (419 °F)
220 °C (428 °F)
Normal operation
270-320 °C (518-608 °F)
300-360 °C (572-680 °F)
Production line operation
320-380 °C (608-716 °F)
360-410 °C (680-770 °F)
A good joint is assured if the iron's operating temperature is set within the parameters suitable for the
type of solder being used. The solder will flow too slowly if the temperature is too low; if the temperature
is too high, the flux in the solder may burn which will give rise to billowing white smoke. In turn, this will
result in a dry joint or in permanent damage to the PCB.

Operation
1.
Switch on the unit. Wait for the unit to warm up and reach the desired temperature.
2.
Apply some solder paste onto the SMD. Position the SMD onto the PCB.
3.
Preheat the SMD.
4.
Solder the SMD onto the PCB by heating the lead frame evenly.
5.
Wash away the flux when soldering is completed.
Notes
Always replace the iron in its holder when not being used.
The unit will automatically switch off when the internal temperature reaches a critical point. Once the
temperature has dropped to a safe level, the unit will switch on again.
Do not apply the gun to the same place for a long time.
Do not leave the device unattended when switched on.
9.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the ventilation openings clear, clean and dust-free at all times.
If the device is running erratically or something unusual occurs during use, immediately switch off
the device and unplug from the mains. Inspect the device before using it again. Repair must only be
carried out by a qualified technician.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified technician.
Wipe with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or
strong detergents.
Clean the device and accessories before storing.
