Thermaltronics - Curie-point soldering technology from the USA
Thermaltronics is a US brand for soldering technology used in electronics manufacturing and rework. The maker is best known for its Curie-point technology (Curie heat), in which the soldering tip holds its working temperature on its own, without separate control electronics inside the tip. The range spans soldering stations and handpieces, a broad program of soldering tips and tweezer cartridges, plus hot-air stations and infrared under-heaters.
A practical advantage of many Thermaltronics tips is that they are cross-compatible with common soldering systems, so they can be used as replacements or additions at existing workstations. On esd.equipment we carry stations, tips in several series (M, K, series 800), hot-air tools and preheat and under-heat solutions for professional assembly work.

Choosing the right Thermaltronics setup
Station and handpiece
For regular soldering, a Curie-point station with a matching handpiece is the starting point. The Curie technology holds the set temperature in a self-regulating way, so the heat stays stable when the tip meets the solder. Make sure the tip series matches your handpiece.
Tip by heat demand
The series determines heat transfer: smaller series for fine work, series 800 for joints with high heat demand such as ground planes or large pads. Choose the tip shape (for example blade/chisel) by pad size and component.
- Series M / K: fine work and standard SMD.
- Series 800: high heat demand.
- Tweezer pairs: desoldering and component handling.
Rework with hot air and under-heat
For BGA and SMD rework, hot-air stations and infrared under-heaters complement iron soldering. The under-heater warms the board evenly and reduces thermal stress during local heating.
Curie-point tip or conventional tip?
| Criterion | Curie-point (Thermaltronics) | Conventional controlled |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature control | Self-regulating via the material's Curie point | Sensor and control electronics drive the heater |
| Temperature stability on contact | High, heat is replenished | Depends on control speed |
| Tip construction | Heater and sensing integrated in the tip | Sensor usually controlled separately |
| Tip change | Series by heat demand, often cross-compatible | System and vendor bound |
| Typical use | Electronics manufacturing and rework | Electronics manufacturing and rework |

Frequently asked questions about Thermaltronics
Where does Thermaltronics come from?
Thermaltronics is a US brand for soldering technology (Made in USA), specialising in Curie-point soldering technology for electronics manufacturing and rework.
What is Curie-point technology?
With Curie-point technology the soldering tip holds its working temperature in a self-regulating way, based on the Curie point of the heating material. The heat is replenished on contact with the solder, without needing separate control electronics inside the tip.
Are Thermaltronics tips compatible with other soldering systems?
Many Thermaltronics soldering tips are cross-compatible with common soldering systems and can be used as replacements or additions at existing workstations. Check the specific series against your handpiece.
What products does Thermaltronics offer?
The range covers soldering stations and handpieces, a broad tip and soldering-tweezer program, hot-air stations and tools, plus infrared under-heaters and preheaters for rework.
What is the series 800 for?
Series 800 is designed for joints with high heat demand, such as large pads or ground planes. For finer work the smaller series M and K are more suitable.
