What is the difference between a soldering iron and a soldering station?

Both the soldering iron and the soldering station are welding tools that must be used for soldering electronic products. The soldering station is an upgraded version based on the soldering iron, which is more powerful and more convenient to use.

A soldering station is a hand tool commonly used in electronic soldering processes to weld two workpieces together by applying heat to the solder (usually referrs to as tin wire), causing it to melt. In essence, the soldering station is also a kind of electric soldering iron. It is only a new welding tool that appeared in the development of electronic welding due to the development requirements of welding technology. Therefore, many people now call the soldering station an electric soldering iron. The soldering station has been greatly developed, there are a lot of brands, and there is a great development in function! Often welding on a fixed desktop, the advantages of the welding station are obvious. 1. The soldering station has a power switch, which is turned on when it is used and turned off when not in use. It's as simple as turning a light on and off.

The electric soldering iron is used to solder electrical components. It is like a pen holder. When using it, we only need to energize and heat it, and then we can solder the electronic products we want to solder. The function is relatively simple.

Soldering Iron vs Soldering Station

 

   1. Efficiency comparison, the efficiency of the constant temperature soldering station is relatively high, the thermal efficiency can reach about 80%, and the electric soldering iron can generally have 50%, which is not bad; because the soldering station can control the temperature in real time.

2. Compared with energy consumption, the energy consumption of the constant temperature soldering station is relatively low, because when the temperature is adjusted, it will not be heated, and the corresponding energy consumption is lower, that is to say, the same welding effect, the soldering station consumes less electricity;

3. Compared with the temperature recovery, the temperature recovery speed of the soldering station is faster, and the work efficiency of the corresponding workers is higher;

4. Compared with the life of consumables, the temperature of the soldering station is controlled and will not increase infinitely, so the life of the soldering iron tip and the life of the heating core are relatively high;

5. Safety comparison, the handle voltage of the soldering station is only 24 volts AC, which is a safe voltage and generally does not cause electric shock;

6. Compared with anti-static, the soldering station has the function of removing static electricity, but the electric soldering iron generally does not.

For beginners in welding, the welding station is more suitable for welding work, because the welding station has more functions and is more intelligent. We can choose AiXun t3A soldering station or AiXun t3B soldering station. AiXun T3A is the world's first 200w fully intelligent soldering station. Compatible with T12/936/T245 three handles, suitable for various scenarios. With the intelligent temperature control system, it can quickly heat up to 380°C within 3 seconds, and the temperature accuracy deviation is less than 1%. Most suitable for mobile repair and precision welding of high-end electronic products. The 2.4-inch LCD digital color display provides you with better visual enjoyment and helps you improve work efficiency. Intelligent operator habit memory can help extend the life of the soldering station and tip. It is a must-have soldering station for cell phone repair shops.
