On the Weller TCP soldering iron the tip determines the temperature of the iron.
Im fairly new to soldering so Im not to sure which tip to use.
I will be using the iron to solder resistors,capacitors, leds and IC's to veroboard/stripboard.
Which shape of tip should I be using and what is the temperature the tip should be at?
I found this information on the net for the TCP weller iron.
"The Letter is specific to the tip's profile/size (mass).
An "A" tip is 1/16" screwdriver profile
--
The Number determines the controlled temperature
6 - 600 degrees F
7 - 700 degrees F
8 - 800 degrees F"
So which tip should I be using?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
