Maximum Tip Temperature For Smartheat® Soldering
Cartridges and Tips
SmartHeat® Technology is unique in that it senses the specific thermal
demand directly at the solder pad and delivers the precise quantity and flow
of thermal energy during both flux activation and intermetallic bonding
phases without any adjustment and calibration. SmartHeat® is radically
different and provides users the only fully safe and thermally effective
soldering lead free solution.
Conventional technology senses and responds to the tip temperature and not
the thermal energy demand of the solder joint and users are required to
calibrate their systems regularly. In today’s lead free environment, the
conventional technology is thermally inefficient to produce good quality solder
joints consistently and leaves process control in the hands of the individual
operators.
Good quality joints are a result of precise quantity and flow of thermal energy
and not tip temperature. Fixed temperature cartridges and tips offer users a
fully safe and thermally effective solution to their lead free soldering needs as
well as complete process control. Furthermore, fixed temperature cartridges
and tips can offer better tip life because they can operate at a lower
temperature than conventional technology. Please speak to our
representatives on proper tip selection for your soldering applications.
Based on historical practices, we acknowledged that some of our customers
have specific maximum temperature criteria to meet when choosing a
tip/cartridge for a particular application.
The table on page 2 provides the max tip temperature for our soldering
cartridges/tips.
