Soldering Iron and Test Leads Digikey order
Chronicle of a digikey order:
EC1302B-ND SOLDERING IRON 20 WATT W/EPH101
So I was a total lamo and left the soldering iron on over the weekend. Three days into this week and the tip melds to the heating element and the iron won't get hot. Related events? You be the judge.
This iron takes the EPH tips, which are the smallest Weller makes. It makes soldering 0805s a breeze, and would likely be fine for 402s. However you can really feel the 20W power limiation when you're soldering a pad attached to a whopping ground plane.
EPH106-ND TIP REPLACEMENT SCREWDRVR .062"
Hopefully the chisel tip will help with the thru hole soldering of ground pins.
501-1166 SMD GRAB CLIP-BANAN PLUG 24" BLK
501-1167 SMD GRAB CLIP-BANAN PLUG 24" RED
501-1168 SMD GRAB CLIP-BANAN PLUG 36" BLK
501-1169 SMD GRAB CLIP-BANAN PLUG 36" RED
Pomona discontinued their minigrabber leads. Now they only offer these two tined SMD grabbers. Will update with how well they work
501-1043 PATCH CORD STKG BANA PLG 18" BLK
501-1044 PATCH CORD STKG BANA PLG 18" RED
Standard bananna to banna leads.
J340-ND CONN PLUG BANANA SOLDERLESS INSU
J153-ND CONN JACK BANANA INSUL NYLON GRE
Nice for grounding things around the lab. I added a ground jack to my keyboard for no hassle connection of the ESD mat.
60-2-5-ND SOLDER-WICK NO-CLEAN .060" 5'
60-4-5-ND SOLDER-WICK NO-CLEAN .110" 5'
The easy-cheapo brand from Digikey was really crummy last time. I wanted more Techspray #3 solder braid, but digikey does't distribute them. I imagine the name brand SolderWick should work pretty well.
I also wanted to order Fluke TL910 test leads with the real fine points, but digikey doesn't distribute them either. They're on the to buy list for Mouser though.
