For station-type soldering irons which have become mainstream products in recent years, it is recommended that the control dbe performed based on the leak voltage, the tip-to-ground resistance, and the tip temperature.
The reason for this is that even if the insulation resistance is measured; it will not show the safety at the device side directly because the inside is insulated with a transformer.
To prevent device damage and soldering failure, periodically perform the following inspections (daily or weekly).
Required tester |
Measuring instrument which can measure the leak voltage, the tip-to-ground resistance, and the tip temperature. HAKKO FG-101can measure all the above items. (However, insulation resistance cannot be measured.) |
In addition to the following inspections 1 through 3, inspections which seem to be required during work should be performed and recorded periodically. |
Inspection 1 | Checking the leak voltage |
Inspection 2 | Checking the tip-to-ground resistance |
Inspection 3 | Checking the tip temperature |
