Soldering, Desoldering, Rework Tips, NozzlesSoldering, desoldering, and rework tips and nozzles are consumable parts that are used with soldering irons and other soldering tools. They are the part of the tool that actually comes into contact with the surfaces being soldered, and are typically made of a heat-resistant metal such as copper or brass.
Soldering tips are the most common type of tip or nozzle, and are used during the soldering process to melt the solder and form the desired joint. Soldering tips are available in a range of sizes, shapes, and styles, depending on the specific requirements of the application. For example, there are tips designed for soldering fine-pitch components, tips with a chisel-shaped end for soldering flat surfaces, and tips with a pointed end for soldering small or delicate parts.
Desoldering tips and nozzles, on the other hand, are used in the desoldering process, which is the process of removing solder from a joint. Desoldering tips and nozzles are typically wider and more funnel-shaped than soldering tips, and are used to suck the molten solder away from the joint using a vacuum pump or other mechanism.
Rework tips and nozzles are specialized tools that are used for repairing or modifying soldered joints. They may be used for removing and replacing components, for adding or removing solder from a joint, or for other tasks that require precise control of the soldering process. Rework tips and nozzles are often more versatile and adjustable than soldering or desoldering tips, and may be equipped with features such as temperature control or programmable movements.
