Choose proper tip for soldering
1. Pick a tip that maximizes contact area between the tips and solder joint.
Maximizing contact area gives the most efficient heat transfer; allowing
operators to produce high quality solder joints quickly.
2. Pick a tip that allows good access to the solder joint, shorter tip lengths allow
more precise control. Longer or angled tips may be needed for soldering densely
populated boards.
Calibrate the Iron Temperture
Use thermometer to check the temperature every time you change any parts from the
soldering iron.
Use thermometer for high frequency iron testing.
