What Is A Soldering Station And How Does It Differ From A Basic Soldering Iron?

A soldering station is the ideal piece of kit for professional and advanced soldering requirements. They act as separate control units that will allow you to control the temperature that you need to solder to. Investing in a soldering station will allow you to complete a more versatile range of work, often jobs that a basic soldering iron would be impractical for. You can therefore tackle tasks with more precision, accuracy, and finesse.

What Work Can My Soldering Station Be Used For?

The process of soldering can be used for a number of different assembly, repair and augmentation works. Mainly however, you will be using a soldering station for one of two functions. Either soldering or desoldering.

When soldering, the tip is heated up to extremely high temperatures and is used to melt solder wire around components. When the melted solder wire cools, it solidifies and permanently fixes the component to the PCB for example. Desoldering however, will reverse this process.

Why JBC Soldering Stations?

Impressive Tip Life – The tip life of the soldering stations made by JBC have a substantially longer tip life than its competitors. Thanks to the built-in sleep mode that comes with each station, the tips are proven to last up to 5 times longer. This is because sleep mode will automatically lower the tip temperature below the solder melting point once when the tool is resting in the stand. This helps to better protect the iron coating of the tip from dissolution.

Fully Customisable Stations – Choosing a soldering iron station that suits your needs has never been simpler. JBC offer both a compact and modular system, allowing you to personalise the soldering unit as according to your requirements. The units are Stackable, fully compatible, and easily navigated. This makes JBC the ideal brand to choose for your soldering needs.
