Your mileage may very but I use the T18-BR02 tip for both SMD and through hole soldering.
I'd planned on buying more tips but frankly I'm 100% satisfied with this tip. I should probably get a larger tip though for soldering connectors and such. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
