Prolux 60 Watt Soldering Iron W/Stand,Eu 2-Pin

The Prolux 60 Watt Soldering Iron (Part No: PX1351A) is a robust, high-output soldering tool designed to meet the demands of RC power systems. With a 60W heating element, it is the ideal "workhorse" for the hobbyist's bench, capable of generating the high heat required for thick battery leads and large connectors. The "Eu 2-Pin" designation confirms it is equipped with a Type C (Europlug) for use in Continental Europe.

Key Features:

• 60W High-Thermal Mass: Unlike low-wattage irons that lose heat as soon as they touch a large wire, this 60W unit maintains its temperature, making it perfect for soldering 10AWG to 14AWG wires.
• RC Connector Specialist: Specifically engineered to handle high-current connectors such as XT90, EC5, and large 5mm-8mm bullets, ensuring a "flowed" solder joint rather than a "blobbed" one.
• Pre-Tinned Precision Tip: Comes with a factory-tinned, long-life tip that offers excellent thermal conductivity and resists the corrosive effects of flux.
• Heat-Insulated Handle: Features a durable, high-impact handle designed to stay cool during extended repair sessions.
• Workbench Safety Stand: Includes a dedicated metal wire stand to keep the hot iron safely elevated when not in use.

Soldering Tip:

When working with 60 Watts of power, heat transfer is very rapid. Pro-Tip: To ensure a perfect joint on a battery connector, "tin" both the wire and the connector terminal separately first. Then, touch them together and apply the iron. The 60W capacity will melt both pools of solder almost instantly, creating a professional-grade bond without overheating the wire's insulation.

Safety Note: Always work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling solder fumes. If you are in the UK, you should look for the PX1351AGB version to avoid using plug adapters with high-wattage heating elements.
