Ian, I find that 700 degrees F is good for most of your pc board work. You mithe run it down to 600 degrees F for delicate components or plastic connectors. 800 degrees F is good for older tube equipment, terminal lugs, and power cables or coax (I always solder my Anderson Power Pole connector pins after crimping).
73, Dave KD1NA Hi guys, My Hakko 936 with several T-1 for surface mounted tiny components arrived today. It is not warm yet. I have been using an Antex 15 Watt iron since 1971, and I built my K2 #4962 with it. Now, variable temperature is, well, a variable that I have never had to consider. So, my questions: What temperature do you set with 60/40 solder on such as a K2, and perhaps a different temperature when soldering an AD9851? 73, Ian, G4ICV, AB2GR, K2 #4962, LP-100 #278 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
