Lead-free/Hot Air Gun Soldering Stations for iPhone Repair

 Soldering Stations is always powerful enough to melt away thick layers of solder. Don’t let an inferior soldering station melt your patience. There are three styles of soldering stations: lead-free, infrared, and hot air gun soldering station.


Besides, we need considering digital or analog, wattage rating, variable temperature, replaceable Soldering Iron Tip, accessories when buying a soldering station.


1. Lead-Free Soldering Stations

Lead’s harmful effects on health, including anemia, weakness, as well as kidney and brain damage, which have prompted a move in the electronic community to create lead-free solders.

Standard leaded machines may not reach a high enough melting temperature for lead-free solder or, if they do, the tips will often burn out quickly.

The single-chip microcomputer control system can make the temperature of the soldering iron head rise in 2 seconds. When the C210 Iron Handle is placed on its holder, it will be in the sleep state, which can prolong the life time of heating element.

Three memory channels are CH1, CH2, CH3, and the temperature of each channel can be set separately for storage and recall.


2. Infrared Soldering Stations

You can heat the component instead of the joint by pointing the laser directly onto the component. There’s also less chance of inaccurate soldering since the laser doesn’t blow components around as a hot air soldering station might.

An infrared station uses a laser to heat the joint—a faster method, both in set up and in heating. So infrared stations tend to be more expensive.

YIHUA 1000B Infrared Rework Station


It used the new SAMSUNG microcomputer processor PID programmable temperature control technology and an infrared source and optics to target heat to individual components.

The soldering station adopted infrared weld technology which achieved independent exploration, infrared penetration strength, and components uniform heating. Beyond the traditional hot air heating it prevents blow off the iPhone IC Chip surrounding small components.

It has External Sensor Temperature control mode, and that is detected by the sensor IC surface temperature control temperature. This function is good for freshman operation, which is a safe way protect components.


This machine has 540W heating system. Preheating plate color is black, from the photics point of view. Black is easy to absorb heating, shortening the warm-up time.

This machine also has soldering iron function, if you have the device , you can use it for all of the iPhone Screen Display solder, desoldering, preheating, repair all components, especially Micro BGA components.

Hot Air Gun Soldering Station

Hot air soldering stations work similarly to infrared soldering stations in that the user places a soldering mixture between the joint and then heats the joint to create a connection.

In automatic mode, temperature will cool down to 100℃ when hot air handle is put in the holder because holder is equipped with an automatic sensor.

With rotatable display screen, it is convenient to adjust the display screen position via slight press.


When in max air volume, the noise from detector is less than 60DB which is similar to normal indoor conversation sound.

Compared to soldering iron, soldering station comes with better temperature control. In addition to that, soldering station can be adjusted to various temperature unlike soldering iron which is one-temperature fits all.


The benefit of using a soldering station is that you can set the temperature of the tip precisely to suit your needs. So it is important to understand which is best for your projects.
