 THE BASICS:

By passing a safe, low voltage, high amperage current through a resistive material we are able to generate an intense heat that can be controlled and localized. The heat that is being generated can then be efficiently used in a wide variety of soldering applications.

There are three key components of resistance soldering:

1. a specialized step-down transformer that will generate the appropriate current
2. a resistive material to generate the heat
3. the ability to complete an electrical circuit

 

 THE ADVANTAGES:

Here are a few of the immediate advantages you can expect to see.

1. Resistance Soldering is a faster, more efficient soldering method than irons or torches.
2. There is no warm-up time needed. Heat is instant and localized.
3. Hand pieces cool extremely fast, reducing the risk of serious injury.
4. There are no open flame hazards to be concerned about.
5. You will have lower overall operating costs because;
• Extra solder is not needed for pre-tinning Electrodes.
• Electrodes generally last 2-3 times longer than traditional Soldering Iron tips.
• You will need less flux, because it is more thoroughly activated during soldering.
• Soldering will be more consistent and the improved quality will mean less rework.
• The faster and more efficient use of current during actual soldering lowers consumption.
6. Resistance Soldering Hand pieces are generally lighter than irons, reducing operator fatigue.

            Thermal damage to heat sensitive components will be minimized.
