How to choose the correct tip

JBC offers you an Exclusive Heating System and a wide range of tips which detect the temperature quickly and increase work effciency.

When you start working do not forget:

Bigger is better

As you know, the bigger the solder tip, the better the thermal transfer. So remember to select the biggest tip possible for your application. This way you will be able to:

  • Work at lower temperatures (350ºC).
  • Obtain faster results in less time.
  • Improve thermal performance.
  • Increase temperature precision.
  • Reduce collateral damage (thermal stress on components and PCBs).

JBC offers over 350 tips of different sizes, shapes and power

The JBC range includes models from Ø0,1 mm for precision jobs to the Ø15 mm for high power requirement applications.comp Continue reading

Best soldering practices

How many solder joints can your tips do?
It varies by the tip geometry, the thickness of the tip’s iron coating, the temperature settings, the solder, the flux used and the operator skills.
JBC features tips which can perform up to 100,000 solder joints.


How often and when do I need to use the tip tinner?

The tip tinner / cleaner is a chemical method to clean and retin the tip at the same time.
It should be used only when alternative methods fail (i.e. sponge, brass) and a very active cleaning method is needed.


Do I have to change cartridges anytime I want to solder at a different temperature?
No, you are free to choose any temperature with any cartridge. If desired the temperature can easily be locked at a fixed level.

How does the JBC heat up so quickly?

tweezersHow does the JBC heat up so quickly compared to older technology irons?

JBC Soldering Irons are fourth generation soldering technology. We use one wire buried deep in the tip of the copper to “read and feed.”

Our thermocouple and heating element wire are one in the same and are microprocessor driven over a sensor at 60 hertz utilizing up to 140 watts on demand in a very low mass cartridge.

This is why our thermal performance cannot be matched. It is technolgy compatible with todays needs, as well as tomorrows. Our competitors are using technolgy invented 20+ years ago with little advancement.

Introducing: JBC Soldering Tools

JBC has a 2 tools and a 4 tools stations.
How many desoldering irons can I connect to them?

Always 1.
The 2 tools station has 2 connectors + 1 special connector for the desoldering pump and the 4 tools stations has 4 connectors + 1 special connector for the de desoldering pump.

When I look at the rework station RMST I see no tweezers in it. Can I connect them to it?
Yes, you can.
When you purchase an RMST you will not get them though. You will have to purchase them separately and don’t forget the stand for them!
