Soldering irons
Which electric soldering iron should you choose?
An electric soldering iron is a practical and reliable tool that belongs in every electronics workshop. Also known as a pencil soldering iron, it is a simple and effective solution for creating strong mechanical and electrical connections between metal components. Available in various shapes and power ratings, choosing the right soldering iron depends on several factors such as wattage, temperature range, tip compatibility and intended application. The two main categories are standalone soldering irons and temperature-controlled soldering stations.

How does a pencil soldering iron work?
Soldering is a joining process that bonds metals by melting solder – typically a tin-based alloy. The soldering iron heats up to high temperatures (often exceeding 300°C), allowing the solder to melt, flow and create a reliable electrical connection once cooled.
Standard pencil soldering irons are plugged directly into a power outlet and usually do not include temperature control. However, adjustable models are also available, enabling manual temperature regulation for greater versatility. Cordless versions provide additional mobility and are ideal for field service work. Many cordless soldering irons are battery-powered, making them lightweight and easy to transport.
All products in our portfolio meet high quality standards and provide ESD-safe operation, ensuring safe use in professional electronics environments. If you need assistance selecting the right electric soldering iron, our technical specialists will be happy to help you choose the optimal solution for your application.
