What temperature is a soldering iron?

A soldering iron is a metal hand held probe type object heated by gas or electric for melting solder (a mixture of tin and lead). Solder is normally used for joining electrical wires and making soldered, leak proof, connections between pieces of copper pipe. It is however very hot, reaching temperatures of over 400 degrees Celsius. It is a tool (usually copper) that is heated and then applied to a joint to melt the solder and heat the metal so it will accept the solder. Some are heated by electricity some are heated in a small furnace. See "What is soldering iron" vipprogrammer.com/soldering-stations-manufacturers-36_116 it heats up your solder and makes it melt, it makes the joints in your circuit firm. it makes a little blob of solder.

What is a solder remover?

Solder remover is an object or device for removing solder, usually from printed circuit boards. It can be in the form of a copper mesh called solder wick, a separate vacuum device you use alongside a soldering iron, or a desoldering iron. A desoldering iron gets hot like a soldering iron, but the tip is hollow and there is a squeeze bulb mounted on top. So you heat up the solder on the board and then use the bulb to vacuum up the solder and then deposit in a safe place such as a can or ash tray.


How to remove solder?

Solder has to be heated in order to melt it for removal, usually by a soldering iron. Then the removal methods can vary. You can get a braided solder remover from a local electronics store that when applied to the melted solder will "wick up" the melted solder. Then there's the vacuum bulb or vacuum hand held solder pump that is used by placing it on the melted solder and either by releasing the bulb or tripping a lever, will literally suck the solder from the connection. Soldering is easy to learn but there are pitfalls if you're not familiar with the techniques, proper sizes of soldering irons, etc.


How can you solder back on the power adapter piece that broke off?

This also happened to me with my Dell Inspiron laptop. The piece inside that makes the connection is called the Dick you just have to solder it back on. Good luck!

Is it safe to solder inside?

Yes, usually no problem. If you know how to solder, then solder away.


Is flux in solder?

In some solder it is. But even if it is in the solder you should still use flux.


Special property of solder?

Solder has a relatively low melting point, and it wets many different metals allowing it to be used to join (solder) them together. It is also fairly resistant to corrosion when the correct solder alloy is applied to the work. We see a lot of solder used in electrical and electrical applications, so it's a fairly good electrical conductor.
