Model comparison and purchase recommendations
SMT production, professional repairing, very strong hot air
repair shop, prototypes, amaturers, strong hot air, good soldering iron
light SMT work, hot air not as strong as 850D and 8502
prototypes, very big SMT chips, removal of big throughhole parts, very powerful hot air
3-in-1 system, good for repair shop and design engineers
Excellent for throughhole production and repair
OK for throughhole components, good for small SOP chips
We are the official distributor of Atten soldering stations in the US.
We have been quite pleased with this unit after using it for a while now. The only thing we have discovered is that the technique used, and type of solder paste selected >are both very important. We have found that Alpha no clean solder paste must be heated SLOWLY in order to prevent many, and I mean many solder balls, however, Kester solder paste can be heated much faster without the same problem. Other than that, a good value for the money.
