Realy i don't know what temp my solder go, but i used it a lot of years to solder and repair a los of SMD PCB, i used it to solder McU and a lot of SMD shift registers memories and others. I'm using a Good TQ-77, this solder is about 20Watts and have a pushbutton to get more than 200W, is full insolated from the 220Vac line becose the heater is encapsuled in a ceramic cilinder, you can use it with the equipment turned on and nothing hapend. The only problem with this is the manufacturer go down the quality of the ceramic end isn't the quality few years ago and if you use all the day in a couple of month the end broken. This is a over temp problem, i use it with a simple diode in serial and the temp go a little down and fixed it. i'm tired of use it to repair pcb's, all in smd, i have a friend who use it and i dont know how he does, but can desolder and solder a Sony CCD ic controler, this device have 9x9 mm and and 20 legs for each side!!! In the lab we use it, the live cicle for the ceramic end is about six month using it five days a week with more than ten hours connecter for each day.
