The ERSA IRHP 200 integrates the proven
safe medium wavelength infrared (IR)
heating technology.
This table top unit has been designed as
a compact temperature-controlled heating
plate to preheat all SMD components as
well as assemblies and substrates. By safely
An optionally available PCB X-Y table (0IR5500-01)
assists in board stability during preheating and rework,
and the optional cooling fan (0IR550-13) gently cools the
PCB after preheating.
Special Care
for ERSADUR Long-Life Soldering Tips
Hand soldering operators are happy when
their soldering tips last a long time and
continue to solder well. Soldering tips that
do not allow the solder to melt rapidly due to
excess oxidation clearly disrupt productivity!
Lead-free soldering requires special care of
the soldering tips in order to solder efficiently.
1. Always clean the tip by wiping on a slightly
wet sponge after each use. Alternatively,
tips can be dry cleaned using the dry
sponge.
2. Always put fresh solder onto the end of the
tip BEFORE putting the tip back into the
iron holder.
3. Always use the lowest working temperature
possible.
4. Never leave an iron “cooking” unattended
for some time. Always set iron into auto-
matic stand-by if possible or turn-off when
not in use.
The ERSA Tip-Reactivator allows the regeneration of
oxidized soldering tips. It is environmentally safe, free of
lead and halogens and functions even at low soldering tip
temperatures.
The ERSA Dry Sponge is included as a standard alternative
to the wet sponge and can be beneficial especially for
lead-free.
5. Never use excessive mechanical force
when soldering.
6. Soldering tip oxidation can be easily
removed if detected early. Early detection
and removal will greatly increase tip life.
7. Tip oxidation removal or tip refurbishing
is accomplished in 4 consecutive steps:
a. clean on damp or dry sponge, b. clean
with wire brush, c. using a tip reactivator
chemical, and d. re-tinning using proper
flux cored solder wire.
Dry cleaning of soldering tips offers
substantial advantages. The soldering tips
are not cooled abruptly and contaminated
tips resulting from dirty sponges are
avoided. Due to the slightly abrasive
properties of the special wire mesh, passive
layers that accumulated on the tip can
easily be removed. Tip life is thus increased
considerably in lead-free hand soldering.
preheating an assembly before the use of
repair tools, the actual repair procedure can
take place faster and at lower temperatures.
Lower repair temperatures and shorter repair
dwell times translate into safer and more
repeatable results! It can also be used to
reflow solder one-sided SMD boards and for
reballing BGAs.
The heating plate temperature can be
adjusted continuously from 120 °F / 50 °C to
1,100 °F / 600 °C. The medium wavelength IR
emitters guarantee uniform heat distribution
ensuring non-contact, gentle heating of the
assembly. The control station can be placed
independently from the heating plate on the
workbench in an ergonomically favourable way.
