FAQ – Soldering Stations for Electronics

What is a soldering station used for?

A soldering station provides precise temperature control for soldering and desoldering electronic components.
It allows consistent results on delicate assemblies such as PCBs, connectors and microcircuits.

What types of soldering stations does FTM Technologies offer?
  • Single-channel stations – compact, ideal for standard soldering tasks.
  • Dual-channel stations – operate two tools simultaneously (iron, tweezers, hot tweezers, etc.).
  • Digital control versions – with display, temperature memory and calibration functions.
What are the advantages of the DUAL series?

The DUAL series combines two soldering tools on the same power unit for multi-purpose use.
It offers fast temperature recovery, precise control, and compatibility with a wide range of FTM soldering tips.

What temperature range do the stations cover?

Most FTM soldering stations operate between 150 °C and 450 °C, covering standard electronic alloys and lead-free solders.
The temperature can be adjusted to match the solder type and component sensitivity.

Are the stations compatible with lead-free soldering?

Yes. All current FTM models are RoHS-compliant and designed for lead-free soldering alloys that require higher temperatures and stable control.

How precise is the temperature regulation?

FTM stations use closed-loop temperature control with high-sensitivity sensors built into the heating element.
This ensures a constant tip temperature even during heavy use, improving solder joint quality and tip lifespan.

Which soldering tools can be connected?

Depending on the model, the stations can drive:

  • Standard soldering irons.
  • Thermal tweezers for SMD components.
  • Micro-soldering tools for fine-pitch work.
  • Desoldering irons (vacuum type) on compatible units.
Can I change tips easily?

Yes. All FTM soldering irons are equipped with quick-change tips that can be replaced without tools, even when hot (with tweezers or safety holders).

What are the main advantages of FTM soldering stations?
  • Accurate temperature control with fast recovery.
  • Compatible with lead-free alloys.
  • Wide range of interchangeable tips and tools.
  • Ergonomic, ESD-safe handles.
  • Durable design for professional use.
