I use 650 usually, and get excellent results. --- End quote --- Depends on context. 650 will work on small stuff but if you get a component directly connected to a large ground trace 650 will take 5 minutes. I tend to stay around 700-725 and move it up when there's a need. --- End quote --- We used 700 degrees for everything at work, from through-hole terminal blocks to surface-mount components smaller than half a grain of rice. --- Quote from: Level42 on September 01, 2009, 07:48:28 pm ---Geez guys, I usually only use 370 degrees. --- End quote --- I think you need to increase that to 371.1111111111111 degrees. :D |

This is juicy info. PnR can take a dive into a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- hole for all I care if more threads like this crop up. Even MaximRecoil is really shining. :applaud: Back to the topic at hand.... --- Quote from: Level42 on August 31, 2009, 05:30:20 am ---Another thing: Most pro's don't use the sponge because it will lower the temperature of the tip and often it will not completely clear the tip of the exces tin. Instead they "throw" off the extra tin on f.i. an old newspaper. --- End quote --- Clarify please. I have visions of millions of people trying to fling hot solder off their iron onto newspapers in millions of garages all around the world. |
