<h1> Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Tips, Nozzles </h1> <p> Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Tips, and Nozzles are a variety of ends of differing shapes and sizes for use in specific situations with soldering and desoldering equipment. The tip types are blow torch, cutting, desoldering, rework, smoothing, soldering, and tweezer with different heights ( 0.006” (0.15mm) to 4.900” (124.46mm)), widths (0.004” (0.10mm) to 6.299” (160.00mm)), and lengths (assorted and 0.039” (1.00mm) to 8.307” (211.00mm)). </p>
<h1> Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Stations </h1> <p> Products in this family are used for manual electronics assembly and rework processes, and incorporate the temperature measurement and control functions necessary for such processes, along with any airflow or vacuum generation applicable to a given tool system's purpose. Included products vary in their scope, from complete, self-contained tools to base units requiring additional separately-sold components for use, to products in kit form which include multiple tool system components and accessories that are also available as separate items. </p>
<h1> Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Accessories </h1> <p> Supplementary items used with other devices in this category. </p>
<h1> Soldering Irons, Tweezers, Handles </h1> <p> Products in this family are handpieces, tools that are held in the hand during manual electronic assembly and rework processes. Depending on the particular tool system, they may comprise a complete functional tool integrating thermal controls and end effectors (tips), or they may be components of systems in which these other components are available and catalogued separately. </p>
<h1> Solder Stencils, Templates </h1> <p> Solder Stencils and Templates are a mask that is used to apply solder paste in a specific area on a PCB board. The stencil types are BGA, CSP, DFN, DFN/SON, FPC/FFC, HSOP, HTQFP, HTSSOP, LED, LED/DFN, LED/PLCC, LGA, LLP, LQFP, LSOP, mini SOIC, MLP/DFN, MLP/MLF, MQFP, MSOP, PLCC, PLCC/JLCC, POS, PowerQSOP, PowerSOIC, PowerSSO, PowerSSOP, PQFP, PSOP, QFN, QFN/LFCSP, QSOP, RN, RQFP, SOIC, SON, SOP, SOT/SC, SSOP, TO/DDPAK, TO/DPAK, TQFP, TSOC, TSOP, TSSOP, TVSOP, uMAX, VSOP, and VSSOP. </p>
<h1> Solder Sponges, Tip Cleaners </h1> <p> Products in this category are used to maintain the surface finish of soldering iron tips in a satisfactory condition. Included are tools such as sponges and scouring pads commonly used to remove minor oxidation and debris buildup that occur during routine use, tools for more aggressive mechanical remediation of badly oxidized tips, and materials used for chemical tip cleaning and maintenance. </p>
<h1> Solder </h1> <p> Solder is Metal Alloys that are used to join metal surfaces to each other. The types are bar solder, ribbon solder, solder paste, solder shot, solder sphere, or wire solder in diameters ranging from 0.006” (0.15mm) to 0.250” (6.35mm) with melting point ranging from 244°F (118°C) to 1983°F (1084°C) in lead free or leaded. The flux type is acid cored, no-clean, rosin activated, rosin mildly activated, or water soluble. </p>
<h1> Holders, Stands </h1> <p> Solder Station Holders or Stands are designed to hold specific types of soldering or desoldering irons, along with tweezers and syringes. Some are replacement models to be used with specific products and some are generic. They can come with either a brass cleaning pad, a sponge, or a combination of the two. </p>
<h1> Fume, Smoke Extraction </h1> <p> Fume and Smoke Extraction devices are designed to remove vapors, gases, smoke, and dust from an area. The types of extractors include articulating arm, bench top, exhaust cabinet, extraction hood, and mobile units. They have voltage input options ranging from 100 to 400 volts. </p>
<h1> Flux, Flux Remover </h1> <p> Flux paste, spray or liquid, when applied to materials undergoing soldering, prevents the formation of metal oxides and aids in cleaning surfaces which prevents beading and allows the solder to flow around and adhere to the material. Some fluxes leave post soldering residue that is removable using rosin activated, ionic, or lead-free flux remover. </p>
<h1> Desoldering Braid, Wick, Pumps </h1> <p> Desoldering braid, wick and solder vacuum pumps are used to remove solder from joints, pads and wires during repair, component removal/replacement, and general desoldering applications using activated rosin, wicking techniques or direct removal using suction. Rosin types include lead-free, no clean, mildly activated, non-activated, and unfluxed. ESD safe and static dissipative options are available. </p>
Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Products
Soldering, desoldering and rework products include tools and supplies generally used to make or remove electrical and mechanical connections between electronic components and the conductors used to interconnect them, whether those connections are discrete wire connections or printed circuit board traces. Examples of included products include solder in wire, paste or strip form, flux, soldering irons and pencils, hot air soldering irons, desoldering tools, and various replacement tips and accessories used to maintain or adjust such tools to accomplish specific tasks.
