Soldering stations JBC - TEC
JBC Soldering Technology
JBC soldering stations deliver tip temperatures from 90 °C to 450 °C with a thermal recovery time under 1.5 seconds, driven by the Intelligent Heat Management (IHM) system that cuts energy consumption by up to 60% compared to conventional stations. All JBC tips maintain a tip-to-ground resistance below 2 Ω and a leakage voltage under 2 mV, meeting IEC 61010-1 safety requirements and IPC J-STD-001 process standards for ESD-safe hand soldering.
As an authorised distributor, esd.equipment stocks 41 JBC soldering stations from the Compact Line range, covering entry-level CD-2SHE units through to precision micro-soldering stations - all compliant with IEC 61340-5-1 for use in EPA environments and shipped from European warehouse stock.
