Soldering Iron

This soldering iron system includes the only iron to use switching technology allowing the closest possible monitoring and correcting of extremely small temperature variations of the tip, thus resulting in a soldering iron that is in a state of constant temperature under varying thermal loads. This compact soldering system with its modern style takes up little space on the workbench. It is stackable so that two or more control bases and/or iron holders can be attached together where two different soldering tips and soldering iron temperatures can be maintained and used for one single job. Control base and the iron holder can be separated if needed.

Soldering Iron Systems
A soldering iron is a device for applying heat to melt solder for soldering two metal parts together.

Vineet Electric Company was founded by Mr. Dinesh Vineet in 1982.At that time good quality soldering irons with international specifications were not available in India. Mr. Dinesh Vineet, himself an Electronics Engineer, was working with a reputed Electronics PSU. He designed a soldering iron with international specifications and incorporated a novel coating procedure for copper bits which till date remain unique. Our siron range of products are far ahead of competition and are perceived highly by users.

A soldering iron is a tool used for applying heat to two adjoining metal parts such that solder may melt and flow between those parts, binding them securely and conductively.

A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing a current, supplied through an electrical cord or a battery, through a heating element. Another heating method includes combustion of a suitable gas, which can either be delivered through a tank mounted on the iron (flameless), or through an external flame.

Some soldering irons heat up and cool down in a few seconds, but others take minutes.

For electrical work, wires and various electronic components are soldered to printed circuit boards, other wires, and small terminals. A low-power iron (15-30watts) is suitable for this work. In earlier days wires were frequently soldered to large chassis made of heavy metal, but this high-power requirement is now rare. Higher power is used for non-electrical metal-work.

Small battery-operated or gas soldering irons are useful when there isn’t a convenient source of electricity.

Some soldering irons have interchangeable tips for different types of work. Pyramid tips with a triangular flat face are useful for soldering sheet metal. Fine round or chisel tips are typically used for electronics work.

A soldering iron stand keeps the iron away from flammable materials, and often also comes with a sponge and flux pot for cleaning the tip. Some soldering irons for continuous and professional use come as part of a soldering station, which allows the exact temperature of the tip to be adjusted, kept constant, and displayed.

Heat the work piece as well as the solder applied to it. This helps to prevent "cold joints", where hot solder is applied by the iron to a relatively cold target, shrouding it in solder to look like a good joint, but without wetting it properly, and without forming a good connection.

Some electrical solder contains flux cores (the purpose of the flux is to clean the oxides off the metals to permit a good joint). If the solder is applied to the iron first then the flux is rapidly burnt off (the wispy white smoke you get from the tip of the iron) and cannot serve its purpose on the joint. In heavier applications, including plumbing, flux is normally applied completely separately.
