[T] - IRON WELLER SP15N Hobby (15 Watt)

03/10: little surprise at our supplier, the SP15L model is now replaced by its successor the SP15N (equivalent model).

Description

Weller offers high quality equipment. If the SPI 16 interests you but remains out of reach for budgetary reasons, here is the SP 15N from the "Weller Hobby" range.
The SP 15N is suitable for occasional use (understand "non intensive").

Designed for Belgian and French networks, this 15 watt welding iron allows you to take your first steps in electronics (higher power could "grill" your components more easily). This model has 3 LEDs resistant to the temperature of the iron allowing to illuminate the area to be welded (useful in the event of displacement but will never replace a good lighting as recommended for electronic assemblies).
The handle is also equipped with a rubberized grip area improving grip and comfort of use.

If you are just starting out, you will also appreciate the moderate power of 15 watts allowing you to work in a more relaxed atmosphere. It may be worth specifying, but burns at 15 watts are "less severe" than with an iron of 50 watts or more. Your reaction time and a little cold water (under a stream of lukewarm water for 20 minutes) will probably be sufficient. However, you have to be careful, a soldering iron can ignite.

Its 2mm tip is wider than a SPI 16 but is still suitable for work in domestic electronics. This model will be suitable for soldering components, assembling shields, mounting on prototyping plates, wire of small section.

He will also be able to assist you in tinning 1.5mm2 wire with a little patience ... but this iron is not intended for this rather electricity-oriented field (220 Volts AC). It's in the electronic field that it will serve you with the greatest comfort.

We have selected Weller Iron as the product of first choice because they are reliable and robust (without "slam it on the ground" of course).
If we take the use of a Weller SPI 16 instead, the SP 15N will be suitable for occasional use (so not for 6 hours straight). Besides the electronic world, he will go for small electrical repair work and leisure work.
