Re: Thru Hole to SMD transition: How to and What to get

2014-07-29 by qz9090@...

James,
Now I have "egg on my face", since I hadn't read all the messages in this thread.

You answered some of my questions to Stefan, in my previous message...
I was always told in school not to read ahead... didn't work this time..... ;-)

I started to look at the Atten, Yihua and Saike brands this morning, what a coincidence.
I am still debating between integrated and not integrated, although I am leaning toward the former.

On the 900 series tips, are those for a specific soldering iron?

Your "note" ....."Note that it is recommended to take your new station part and visually check the assembly for obvious problems, bad earthing, dodgy wiring, that kind of thing, before you power it on the first time :-)"

Does make me a little nervous.... having to fix something before you use it.

Thanks for the Info.
