Does solder type and flux matter?
How to keep the tip clean?
What temperature should I use?
1. General Formula: add 120°C to the melting point listed on the solder label, and adjust up/down as needed for different tasks.
- Example: the solder says 220°C melt point, then
220 + 120 = 340 °C - One could also try these common working temperatures below, start lower and increment by 5 °C until you get a comfortable working temperature (thicker wires & situations dictate more or less).
Common working temperatures: - For Lead solder: 300°C - 320°C - For No-lead solder: 350°C - 365°C
2. If there is no listed melting point, refer to google or a chart like below for your specific type of solder alloy:
3. Adding a small amount of solder to your tip before starting increases the thermal mass of the tip and could help. See the soldering guides for demonstrations of this.
