Introducing the WS 81 from Weller, this electronic soldering station uses an analogue dial for controlling the temperature for your soldering application. The WS81 station set is supplied with a soldering iron, soldering station, soldering tip and soldering iron rest. The soldering station offers greater flexibility over standard soldering irons as they can be used for a variety of applications.

The power unit features an analogue dial to precisely control the temperature to suit the application. The temperature range is from 150°C to 450°C (302°F to 842°F), with a green led light indicating the desired temperature has been reached. The Weller PU 81 soldering station is ESD protected and offers a temperature accuracy of ±9°C, and temperature stability of ±5°C. There is a 3.5mm jack plug and socket on the back of the soldering unit for equipotential bonding. Equipotential bonding enables you to be ESD safe by joining metalwork that may be earthed, to avoid any potential malfunctions from ESD.

Part of this WS 81 soldering set is the WSP 80 soldering iron, this high performance and ergonomically designed iron is great for accurate soldering. The 80W, 24V soldering iron features a fast heat-up allowing the user to start work swiftly. Easy to change out tips enable to quickly change out a tip if required for different tasks.

The Weller KH 18 soldering iron rest is an ideal place to keep the soldering iron when not in use, the solder base also has a tray for the solder sponge. The sponge keeps the tip clean, removing any old solder to keep the tip nice and shiny.

The tip of choice in this set is from the LT series of soldering tips. The chisel-shaped tip end measures 2.4 mm by 0.8 mm and is 13.5 mm long. The heat transfer is very effective whilst offering longevity and durability.

Soldering irons are used to work and rework solder in all manner of applications, particularly in repairing or building PCB circuit boards with SMD and through-hole components. They are commonly used in electronic prototyping and production, and any application where a circuit board component might have to be removed or adjusted. Soldering irons are often used by:

This solder station only shows Centigrade (°C). The temperature range is from 150°C to 450°C (302°F to 842°F).

This soldering station uses a UK plug.
