Just replaced the heating element on my iron and noticed it’s a little shorter than original and doesn’t fill entire length of the tips. Will it affect the temperature reaching the tips or shouldn’t matter?

Re: Is this soldering iron heating element too short?
Are you sure the new heater is shorter?
I would check the tip's depth (inside) and see if there is now a big air gap. Kind of depends on where the sleeve bottoms out now.
For best heat transfer and temperature accuracy, you don't want air gaps.
P.S. what tip is that, it looks niiiice -
Re: Is this soldering iron heating element too short?
Yeah there’s a gap. The depth inside the tip extends out the same distance as the red mark I made.

Re: Is this soldering iron heating element too short?
it's no good - maybe a manufacturing defect.
you need it to fill the tip or the feedback wont work.Comment

Re: Is this soldering iron heating element too short?
depends, if you solder big joints(no jokes please) then it wont respond fast.Comment

I've got this circuit that I've been playing with on a breadboard. I'm not happy with it mainly because the MOSFET gets too hot and generally controlling the temp of the heating element with the Arduino has proven to be a little more cumbersome than I would like.
What I would like to know, is what is the best way to set up a circuit like this? The heating element is just a PCB and its going to be mounted under a 3D-printed enclosure that a lizard will use to warm his belly.
This is the general setup that I have now.
This is what the... -
Hi Everyone,
I bought a Yihua 992DA+ hot air gun and soldering iron unit from a used market.
1. Soldering iron works great
2. There is a burnt mark on the hot air gun handle.
I am a bit concern by the look of the melted plastic. I opened the hot air gun handle and took some readings with a multimeter.
Heating element ~ 75ohm. (Similar reading taken from a spare heating element that came with the unit.)
Thermocouple ~ 1.5ohm. (Similar reading from the spare heating element.)
Reed switch tested ok with a magnet.
From the above test, I can conclude... -
I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story
I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap... -
Hi!
I'm owner of a Baku 702B. I do some SMD work with it, and since I have a spare soldering iron that works very well for the little soldering that I do, I hardly use the soldering iron that this station comes with.
(To add some info, this station went to RMA some months ago, the hot air gun resistance was changed to a new one.)
So, some days I needed to use the soldering iron that comes with the station, but for my surprise, the temperature would not rise. The temperature screen would always show 22/23ºc and no matter what, if I rised or decreased the... -
Hi Folks
I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.
I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...10-15-2024, 10:13 AM
