Soldering iron tips

You should learn what a thermal profile is then.

If you are placing cold boards in direct contact with hot, molten solder, and you do not use a thermal lead-in profile, you can damage your boards or components.

Worse, if you do not know what temp a board is at the moment it leaves full contact with molten solder of a known temp, you need to remove yourself from that aspect of the industry entirely.

Mainly as a punishment for "jumping right in". Blind, no less. Let alone how easy it is to research and learn about.

Calling you full of s*it is not a scat reference, it is a vermin moniker reference. You are that vermin.

So English isn't you first language then.

It only took you two sittings to answer, AlwaysWrong. Your ADHD is improving. Better drugs?

We were talking about SOLDERING IRONS, not reflow ovens, here. I'm not sure how you can make a temp profile with a soldering iron unless you turn the iron on and off while you hold the tip in contact with the pad on the board, I think this MIGHT slow me down just a bit.
