QUESTION
I've got a Weller soldering station with settable temperature and interchangeable tips.
Is there a table or general guidelines for temperatures and tips for different soldering tasks, such as:
- wire-wire, thick
- wire-wire, 20 gauge
- wire to PC board
- through-hole chip on PC board
ANSWER
You should select the correct tip for a particular joint, keeping the temperature constant. The tip should be about the same size as the object being soldered. The temperature depends on the type of solder.
