Thermaltronics
Soldering
Thermaltronics soldering systems are engineered around the proprietary Curie-heat technology, delivering tip temperature stability of ±1 °C and thermal recovery times under 2 seconds - measurable performance advantages over conventional resistance-heated stations. All handpieces maintain a tip-to-ground resistance below 2 Ω and a tip voltage below 2 mV, making every tool fully compliant with IEC 61340-5-1 ESD-safe workstation requirements. Tip operating temperatures span 50-450 °C across the TMT series, with wattage ratings from 60 W (standard pencils) up to 120 W for heavy desoldering guns.
As an authorised distributor, esd.equipment stocks 1,066 Thermaltronics line items covering soldering stations, desoldering guns, hot air tools, supply units, storage racks, and a comprehensive range of interchangeable tips. Every product category is covered by the TMT series platform, ensuring cross-compatibility of tips and handpieces across the entire range. All systems meet IPC J-STD-001 process requirements and IEC 60068 environmental test standards, supported by calibration documentation and full EU declaration of conformity.
