1.
Select a tip that maximizes contact area between the tip and solder joint. Maximizing contact area gives the
most efficient heat transfer, allowing operators to produce high quality solder joints quickly.
2.
Select a tip that allows good access to the solder joint. Shorter tip lengths allow more precise control. Longer
or angled may be needed for soldering densely populated boards.

Soldering tip maintenance
1)
High temperature would affect/decrease the lifetime of soldering tip. Set the temperature as per
application but as low as possible.
2)
The oxide and carbide produced by residual flux will damage the soldering tip, like soldering
deviation and slow heat conduction etc. Clean the soldering tip regularly (every week for long time
continuous using).
