Transformer soldering iron YT-82451 with very high power, made of high-quality materials with ergonomic design Spot lighting of the workspace and non-slip material on the handle positively affect the comfort of work The power of 200 W guarantees very fast heating To reach a temperature of about 350°C in the strongest mode and using the first-mounted soldering iron tip, the soldering iron needs only 8 seconds • Power: 230 V • power: 200 W Parameters: • network voltage [V~]: 230 - 240 • network frequency [Hz]: 50 • rated power [W]: 200 • temperature of mains A / B / C [deg C]: 70 - 200 / 201 - 350 / 351 - 500 • operation type S 2 20%: 12 s / 48 s • dimensions (L x W x H) [mm]: 185 x 185 x 55 • weight [kg]: 0. 92 • electrical insulation protection class: II The set includes: • three replaceable arrowheads with a diameter at the point of attachment - 3. 35 mm. • calophony • tin • case Special design allows for operation in three temperature ranges: • a: 70-200°C • b: 201-350°C • c: 351-500°C It is worth adjusting the temperature range according to the work to be done, such as soldering wires (B or C), basic electronic components on PCBs (B), cutting wires or cords made of plastic (A or B), etc How to take care of a soldering iron tip The rotors of YATO transformer soldering irons are coated with a material that reduces the oxidation of the tip Pointless overheating and mechanical damage quickly degrade the protective layer, then the tip oxidizes resulting in problems with melting the solder joint Instead of melting and sticking to the soldering tip, the tin peens and falls off A proven way to take care of the tip is to tin it When first warming up the soldering iron, apply a bit of tin to the tip of the mainsail and remove the excess, for example, with brass shavings The resulting layer of tin protects against oxidation It is good practice to tin the tip every time you finish a job Note Transformer soldering irons owe their relatively small size to intermittent mode transformer technology To maintain the highest performance of the device, it is necessary to follow the rule: • 12 s soldering • 48 s intermittent One time exceeding the soldering time with care of the soldering iron will not adversely affect the continued operation of the soldering iron, especially if you let the device cool down In an overheated transformer, its efficiency and therefore its ability to heat the soldering tip to the proper temperature decreases Overheating the transformer also increases the risk of damage A traditional transformer for continuous operation with this much power would have to weigh several kilograms, and in size would resemble a small welder rather than a handy gun-shaped soldering iron.
