Soldering: temp & solder

Solder type + work type → tip temperature and tips

Melting
183 °C
Tip (guide)
~290 °C

Easiest to solder: eutectic, shiny joint. RMA/no-clean flux. Best for learning.

Contact time ≤3 s per pad; BGA — hot air 350–380 °C with bottom preheat. Flux is mandatory even with flux-core solder. Clean boards after active fluxes.
