Replacement Soldering Tips for Soldering Station
I bought one of these on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-soldering-ST...QQcmdZViewItem it works well. The box says Sydney Electronic Tools and also shows 3 sets of replacement tips 5-7 each in various sizes and configs on the box These are .187" shank ferrule mounted tips.No instructions or company info in the box. (don't need any Ebay finger-wagging). The seller is no help. Can't find the company on Google(prolly Chinese)-just get loads of Sydney, Australia links and 'tips on soldering' . Other links for known brands like Weller don't offer a'kit' of tips, just ploddingly large lists of individual tips, and don't list the shank dia alot of the time. Anyone have anything helpful? thanks JR HOME PAGE: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth -------------------------------------------------- |

In fact, I've seen these same units being sold by a number of vendors. MCM has extra tips and sponges for the unit. The tip shank diameter is 0.187", same as yours. Tips are sold individually. I bought one of these stations a few months ago when they were on sale at around $13 USD. It's a bit slow to heat up, but seems to do the job adequately, even on connections to a large ground place and connections to metal chassis. -- Dave M MasonDG44 at comcast dot net (Just substitute the appropriate characters in the address) Experience: What you get when you don't get what you want |

Anyone have anything helpful? thanks JR HOME PAGE: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth -------------------------------------------------- JR - First, my qualifications. I have been working in electronics since the ealry 1970s and repairing soldering stations since 1975. I have seen many changes in the industry in the past 30+ years. There are a large number of poorly made "copy-cat" soldering stations on the market. The soldering tip selection is poor (less than 6 tips usually and no SMT selections) and virtually no availability for repalcement heaters, parts, etc. A throw away station. I consider this unit you have mentioned to be one of these types. I try to advise people to quit wasting their money on these units, when high quality used units (Weller, Haako, OKI/Metcal, Pace) are available weekly on eBay and various surplus venues ---- and tips are readily available from qualtiy distributors and dealers. One poster said this was a Weller WCC100, he was incorrect. This is a model manufactured in China and Mexico, from molds or designs possibly stolen from Weller's WCC10 and WLC100 production several years ago. A number of Chinese / Taiwan mfg. also clone/copy the popular Hakko 936 station. SORNY ROONG INDUSTRIAL (Solomon) is one of the largest OEM suppliers in the world. Tenma/MCM, circuit Specialists, etc. are many of the "brand name" companies that carry Solomon products (as OEM supplier) http://soldering.com.tw/p1_all.html NOW, for your Questions. For generic tips for a variety of soldering stations, look at the PLATO brand. I rarely use Plato tips, BUT for situations like yours -- they are an option. http://www.platoproducts.com/crosspa2.htm At .187 inches in diameter (3/16") this is the same shank diameter used by the Pace PS-80/PS-90 soldering irons. As for a "kit of tips" -- that is a RARE offfering these days. Pace use to offer a kit of SMT tips, at $55, but discontinued it -- since most users only desired one or two tips in the kit. FREE ADVICE: Use chisel/screwdriver profile tips. Start with these 3 sizes: 1/16", 3/32" and 1/8" size profiles. That wll meet 95% of the needs for a home user or hobbyist. Select the correct tip size for the item you are soldering -- MATCH the MASS of the tip to the MASS of the sodleirng area. Go to these web sites (US west coast) for quality soldering stations, irons, supplies, parts and accessories: Wassco (So. California) http://www.wassco.com/ Action Electronics (Santa Ana, California) http://www.action-electronics.com/ IF you need additional references (other parts of US) or resources, please post quesiton or query. g. beat w9gb |

Based on sound physical principles of thermal conduction of heat (Fourier's law) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity True, but even though I was aware of the physical principles, I had not seen that particular 'rule of thumb' before. I might modify it slightly. "the mass of the tip should match of exceed the mass of the objects to be soldered". Of course, a temperature controlled iron with plenty of power and thermal conductivity will do as well but the image of matching the masses is a great image to keep in mind. -- bz 73 de N5BZ k please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set. remove ch100-5 to avoid spam trap |
