The YT-82461 soldering station with digital LED display, temperature control and temperature calibration function is designed to work with a grove with built-in heater. The T12 type arrowhead combines a ceramic-sunk resistance wire, a temperature sensor and a high-quality soldering tip. The integrated design of the tip allows for express heating and a very fast temperature stabilization effect. Yato station is one of the few on the market with an additional function to extend the life of the heater and temperature sensor, which significantly improves the economy of the integrated design soldering tip. The soldering iron flask allows for a quick change of soldering tipsós, is very pleasant to the touch and has one of the lowest grip distances of the handle from the soldering point, which is very useful during precision work.

T12 GOTTES: BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES AND THE IMPACT OF POWER MANAGEMENT ON THEIR LIFE

One of the biggest advantages of arrowheadsós integrated design is the elimination of the problem of air resistance between the soldering tip and the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor in T12-type soldering tips is connected in series with the heater* and is located in the soldering tipóing as close as possible to its tip. Thus, any change in temperature, e.g. when soldering large componentsós, is almost instantly read by the temperature stabilization function, whichóll adjust the power of the device in real time to maintain the set setting.**

Another advantage appreciated by many usersós is the speed of changing the soldering tip, and even the possibility of replacing it without having to wait for the tip to cool down. To do this, it is enough, using a heat-resistant material, to grab the heated tip and slide it out of the soldering iron flask.

The serial connection of the temperature sensor and heater undoubtedly has many advantages, but it also has the disadvantage of reducing the service life of the sensor itself. Yato YT-82461 soldering station as one of the few on the market has a special function to reduce the negative impact of such a solution:

In the last phase of reheating the arrowhead, the station software gradually reduces the power of the heater before it reaches 100% of the setting. For example, with the temperature set at 350°C, the station up to about 85% of the set value will operate at full power, to gradually reduce this power for the last 15%. This type of control reduces the negative impact of power surges both for the station itself and for the arrowhead elements. Intelligent power management also has a positive effect on the precise operation of the temperature stabilization function.

Other FUNCTIONS

The Temperature stabilization function makes it possible to maintain the set temperature of the soldering tip under different conditions of heat demand to make a proper soldering joint. The tip, depending on the size of the soldering element and the soldering field, gives off more or less heat, and the device, with the help of a built-in tip temperature sensor, continuously reads its real value and correlates it to the set temperature, then, depending on the needs, increases or decreases the power consumptionór to maintain the set temperature.

The Temperature Calibration function allows you to calibrate the temperature sensor built into the spearhead. Depending on the quality, size and wear of the mainsail, the discerning user with the help of a temperature measuring device can calibrate the sensor himself. The correct reading not only has a positive effect on temperature stabilization, but helps the experienced user avoid the error of overheating the connection in PCBs.

NOTE

*The temperature sensor in T12 arrowheads is connected in series with the resistance wire/heater, and communication with the control circuit is done via wiresóin supplying the heater. Typically, in this type of design, a special control circuit cuts off power to the heater for less than a millisecond, reads the temperature of the tipóof the mainsail, and adjusts the power consumption parameters as needed on an ongoing basis. This is a cyclic process that is not noticeable during normal operation, and has the effect of stabilizing the temperature of the tipóof the mainsail.

**For comparison, temperature stabilization in devices with a flask design with a heater and a slide-on mainsail is basedóon the effect of air resistance. The air in the free space between the arrowhead and the heater also has to heat up or cool down, which further prolongs the response of the temperature sensor built into the heater. Stabilization, especially in older designs where the temperature sensor was built into the center of the heating element, worked slowly. Modern flasks, such as those in the devices YT-82456, YT-82458 and YT-82459 have new-generation heaters with a special shape and with the temperature sensor located at its end. Thus, the arrowhead adheres well to the heater, and the effect of air resistance on the stabilization function is reduced to a minimum.
