13.Selection of Tips
1) It is very important to correctly select the size and shape of tip. A
suitable tip can improve the efficiency and increase the durability.
2) The size of tip is directly related to the heat capacity. For continuous
soldering, the larger the tip, the less the temperature drop. In addition,
because the heat capacity of the large tip is higher and relatively low
temperature can be used during soldering, the tip is not easy to oxidize
and the service life is relatively prolonged.
3) Generally speaking, the selection of tip size is based on the standard
that it does not affect adjacent components. Selecting the geometric
dimension that can fully contact with the soldering joint can improve the
soldering efficiency.
