Soldering Station Accessories and Using Tips

 What accessories you need for using a Soldering Station?

To help combat oxidation, soldering pros use flux: a chemical cleaning agent that helps prevent oxidation and promotes the flow of solder, allowing the solder to attach itself more easily to the joint.

The best option is to use hollow soldering wire with a rosin core; rosin is a flux chemical that helps the solder flow and reduces the effects of oxidation.

Soldering Smoke Absorber


FUME strong suction extractor smoke absorber is designed for phone PCB BGA soldering. FUME extractor smoke absorber comes with 1.2m bamboo smoke tube, its suction is very strong, can quickly absorb smoke and odor, dust.With 1.2m smoke pipe, it can be used for soldering iron station, laser machine, chemical experiments, cosmetic medicine, etc.

It’s wise to always ventilate the areas where you’re soldering: Open a window and use a fan to extract the irritants from the room, and consider wearing an N95 mask if you’re particularly sensitive.

Use a rosin-core solder to help minimize oxidation.
Keep the area well-ventilated or wear a mask to avoid fumes.
Pre-tin wire ends before soldering to a control board for the best results.

Cleaning Sponge

In order to clean the soldering tips, you need heavy-duty sponge cleaners. By using it regularly, you can remove corrosion effect on the tips.

Magnifying Glass/Microscope

Trinocular Microscope helps you hold the components together and get a closer and better while you are soldering. Best soldering techniques include two alligator clips and magnifying glass. It is difficult to solder without one. It is perfect assistant for anyone.

60-40 Rosin Core Solder

As an ideal solution for an electric solder, it is useful for both beginners and people with good soldering experience. It can improve the efficiency of welding, improving the quality of electronic product repair and reducing the soldering station efficiency loss.

Soldering Iron Stand

This is an important thing to consider because you need a place to put the hot iron while working.

Flux Core Solder
It is suitable for soldering transistors and PCB resistors. It ensures the corrected are secure and safe.

De-soldering Wick

Though it takes a bit of practice, de-soldering wick is considered as the best way to remove unwanted parts on circuit board. This wick has the capability to soak up molten solder which makes it easy to clean the excess solder.

Despite of experience, every professional can make mistakes once in a while. This can be helpful to resolve those mistakes. They usually come with a squeeze ball, place and nozzle. When the pressure is released, the de-soldering pump sucks the air in to remove liquefied solders.

Flux Pen: It helps the flow of a lead-free soldering

Over the time, soldering tips become black and oxidized. In order to re-tin the tip, tip tinner is the most helpful one.

Diagonal Cutting Pliers: They are useful to trim off the leads after completing the soldering process.

Soldering Mat: It protects your workbench surface while soldering.

Safety Tips to Consider While Using Soldering Stations:

1. As mentioned by almost all the manufacturers, you should never come in direct contact with soldering iron element.

2. To hold wires, we recommend to use either tweezers or clamps. When not in use, we recommend to turn off the soldering station. And make sure to unplug it as well.

3. Make sure the cleaning sponge is always wet while using. Never place your soldering iron on workbench. Place it on the stand.

4. Make sure to wash your hands properly after soldering process. Avoid using a soldering station if the plug is damaged.
