WORKING TEMPERATURE
Soldering at the correct temperature is very important
to ensure perfect solder connection. If the temperature is
too low the solder will not flow correctly and will cause
cold solder joints. If the temperature is too high the flux
will be burned and not allow the solder to flow. High temperature
can also cause damage to the PC Board and other sensitive
components. When particular solder being used a good joint
is asssured.
The most common solder alloys used in electronics industry
is 60% tin. 40% lead(60/40).A common tip working temperature
of 60/40 solder is detailed below (this mayvary from manufacturer
to manufacturer):
Melting point-------------------------------------419 (215 )
Normal operation--------------------------------518-572(215-300)
Production line operation-----------------------608-716(320-380)
Desoldering operation for small joint----------599(315)
Desoldering operation for larger joint---------752(400)
