Soldering and Desoldering Tools - ESD (antistatic)
Weller Soldering tools
Weller soldering tools deliver tip temperatures from 50 °C to 550 °C with a thermal recovery time under 5 seconds, making them a benchmark for precision hand soldering in ESD-protected environments. All iron handles and stations are engineered to maintain a tip-to-ground resistance below 2 Ω and leakage voltage below 2 mV, fully compliant with IEC 61340-5-1 and EN 60335-2-45 for use in EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) workstations.
As an authorized Weller distributor, esd.equipment stocks 86 soldering tools spanning pencil irons, tweezers, desoldering pumps, and rework stations - covering the full Weller WE, WT, WX, and WXMP platform families with genuine replacement tips, heating elements, and accessories to IPC J-STD-001 and IPC-7711/7721 process requirements.
