Which soldering iron tips will be used in PCBA processing?
At present, the country has higher and higher requirements for environmental protection and greater efforts in link governance. This is a challenge but also an opportunity for PCB factories. If PCB factories are determined to solve the problem of environmental pollution, then FPC flexible circuit board products can be at the forefront of the market, and PCB factories can get opportunities for further development.
The Internet era has broken the traditional marketing model, and a large number of resources have been gathered together to the greatest extent through the Internet, which has also accelerated the development speed of FPC flexible circuit boards, and then as the development speed accelerates, environmental problems will continue to appear in PCB factories. In front of you. However, with the development of the Internet, environmental protection and environmental informatization have also been developed by leaps and bounds. Environmental information data centers and green electronic procurement are gradually being applied to the actual production and operation fields.
The soldering iron tip is a supporting product of the electric soldering iron, which is integrated. The main material is copper, which is a consumable product. Most soldering irons used in electronic devices have interchangeable soldering iron tips, the size and shape of which are different in different types of work.

Pyramid heads with triangular flat surfaces and chisel heads with wide flat surfaces can be used to weld metal sheets. Thin tapered or tapered chisel tips are usually used for electronic PCBA processing and soldering work. The tip of the soldering iron may be straight or curved. A concave surface with a chiseled surface or a wicking iron tip can form a concave hole on the flat surface, and a small amount of solder can be kept on the soldering iron tip. The choice of the soldering iron tip depends on the type of PCBA processing work and different products. For example, the soldering of a 0.5mm pitch surface mount IC is very different from soldering a through-hole connection to a large area. It is said that a concave pointed hole helps prevent bridging of closely spaced pins; it is recommended to use a different shape to correct bridging that occurs. Due to patent restrictions, not all manufacturers offer ubiquitous female heads; especially in the United States.

Older and very cheap soldering irons usually use bare copper tips, which are shaped with files or sandpaper. The solder gradually dissolves, forming dents and erosion. Copper shavings sometimes wear away. Since the 1980s, iron-plated copper tips have become more and more popular. Since iron is not easily dissolved by solder, the plating head is more durable than bare copper, although it will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. This is especially important when working at the higher temperatures required by modern lead-free solders. Solid steel tips are rarely used because they can store less heat and rust can damage the heating element. iPCB has passed ISO9001:2008, ISO14001, UL, CQC and other quality management system certifications, produces standardized and qualified PCB products, masters complex process technology, and uses professional equipment such as AOI and Flying Probe to control production and X-ray inspection machines. Finally, we will use double FQC inspection of appearance to ensure shipment under IPC II standard or IPC III standard.
