One way you can control the temperature of a soldering iron is with a microcontroller, using temperature feedback from the thermistor in the handle near the iron's tip. This Design Idea presents a ...

His intent was to design a controller capable of driving any kind of low voltage soldering iron which used either an in-line or separate temperature sensor (either thermocouple or resistive PTC).

Turn broken electronics into hands-on lessons. Master soldering while embracing the DIY mindset of learning by doing.

The OptoTEC line of thermoelectric coolers includes a new class of devices built with tin-antimony solder. Since this solder melts at 232°C, the new series is designated ET to denote elevated ...

To apply the circuit as a temperature probe, solder a 5-mm length of 1-mm-diameter, uninsulated copper wire directly to a small copper pad at IC1 's GND pin. The wire should make thermal and ...

The soldering iron has an adjustable temperature range from 100ºC to 400ºC. For most lead-free soldering, try 400°C or for lead-based solder, 350°C will do, says Anadruit.

Keysight’s new InfiniiMax micro probe head is a micro solder-in head for use with the company’s InfiniiMax I/II probe amplifiers and is designed to access small geometry target devices.
