Metcal soldering iron tipIt is a miniature precision component made of copper box ceramic, with different usage temperatures. Its maintenance and upkeep are very important. The price of Metcal soldering iron tips is also not low, and good maintenance can increase their service life. How to maintain it? Metcal's high-quality agent, Shenzhen Yapude Technology, shares three steps for maintaining soldering iron tips. Step 1: Cleaning. Use a clean and moist sponge to clean the soldering iron tip, ensuring that the sponge is free of sulfur and deionized water. Do not use dry sponges, rags, or household sponges to clean the soldering iron tip. Use Metcal copper wire balls instead of any grinding machines for rusty soldering iron tips. The second step is tin plating. When tin plating, the solder wire should be placed directly on the solder pad, never directly on the soldering iron tip. And try to avoid using high activity soldering flux as much as possible, and do not use welding wire with high temperature and no soldering flux. Step three, shut down. When not in use, remember to shut down the system and immerse the soldering iron tip in tin. When replacing the soldering iron tip, a disassembly gasket should be used instead of using tweezers, pliers, or other tools to avoid damage.
