RS, a leading distributor of electronic components, is now stocking five kits of hand soldering and re-work components designed for various applications. These kits are specifically tailored for micro-soldering and de-soldering larger components.
The kits are carefully curated from Weller's renowned WXsmart soldering component range. Each kit is identified by a part number in the format T005345x699. All of the kits include Weller's innovative 'WXsmart Station' controller, a high-quality soldering iron, a sturdy stand for the iron, and a convenient bit holder.
One of the kits, T0053455699, features a soldering iron with a large bit, ideal for what RS refers to as 'heavy-duty soldering'. Another kit, similar to the previous one, is T005345x699, but it comes with a soldering iron equipped with two fine tips, specifically designed for soldering very small components.
For those who require more advanced rework capabilities, RS offers kit T0053457699. This kit includes heated de-soldering tweezers with two sizes of fine tips, making it perfect for reworking small components. Additionally, kit T0053458699 is designed for reworking large components and includes chunky heated de-soldering tweezers, complementing the heavy-duty kit T0053455699.
Lastly, RS presents kit T0053456699, a versatile re-work station. This kit does not include de-soldering tweezers of any size. Instead, it features a hand-held de-soldering iron and a matching vacuum pump, providing a more general solution for rework needs.
For those interested in the T0053457699 kit, which is equipped with de-soldering tweezers for reworking small components, it can be found on the RS website here.
