About our Soldering Tips

• High-performance soldering tips designed exclusively for automatic soldering operations.
• The soldering tips feature a black chromium plating, and the "tinned area" on the wetting surface is plated with lead-free solder.
• Available in various standard tip shapes, including point soldering and linear soldering.
• Custom tips can be designed and manufactured in multiples of 10 to meet customer specifications.
• Tip life spans in the range of 20,000 - 25,000 hits, depending on the application.

*Special tips are built to order.

Contact Soldering Process

Pre-Heat: In both processes, the temperature is gradually raised to prevent thermal shock to sensitive components. Flux is applied to clean the surfaces and promote better bonding.

Heating: For contact soldering, a heated iron tip is used to transfer heat to the joint, melting the solder. In laser soldering, a focused laser beam is activated to rapidly heat the solder and components, ensuring precise control over the temperature to avoid damage.

Post-Heat: Solder is applied to the joint in both methods. In contact soldering, the molten solder fills gaps and forms a solid connection. In laser soldering, the solder melts and flows into place, creating a strong bond without overheating surrounding areas.

Cooling: The iron tip or laser is removed, and the joint is allowed to cool, solidifying the solder and ensuring a reliable electrical and mechanical connection.

Both techniques ensure a secure solder joint but differ in their heat application—contact soldering uses a heated iron, while laser soldering uses a focused beam of light.

Pre-Heat: Before soldering, it's important to gradually warm up the components to prevent thermal shock. With a soldering iron, the tip heats the area slowly, and flux is applied to clean the surfaces for better adhesion.

Heating: This is where the real action happens. In contact soldering, the heated iron tip touches the joint, transferring heat directly to melt the solder.

Post-Heat: Once the joint is hot enough, the solder melts and flows into place. With a soldering iron, the heat keeps the solder molten until it fills the gaps and bonds properly.

Cooling: After the solder is applied, it needs to cool and solidify. In contact soldering, removing the iron allows the solder to naturally harden into a strong connection.
