Soldering iron
 

I am going pick up a soldering iron to solder some EC5 and Deans connectors, what watt soldering iron do I need? Or is best?

As a kid, I used something like this:

Now, I have this one:

Much easier to hold and precision is easier.

I like that trakpower, thank you

Can't go wrong with the Hakko FX888d

weller wlc100 adjustable heat and only $60 can be found most common at sears stores.last one went 10 yrs strong

Yeah, the TrakPower stuff is really rebranded Hakko's

I use this one alot (sits in my pit bag) and do everything from tx/rx wires up to EC5s with ease, heats up quick for those between heat repairs. I ditched the included tip before the first use and got one that is much smaller.

For when I am home I have an older Hakko solder station with adjustable temp.

I just picked up a Trackpower myself. So far it has done everything I could ask for.

That's a lot of power. Is there a power brick attached? Might pick one of those up.

Hakko, or there is a digital radio-shack one that has served me well

OMg get this asap man

This tip
Hakko 900M-T-3.2D Large Chisel Tip

Nope just straight into the wall.

At least a 60W iron with a chisel tip. Any will do with the best being the models mentioned above which are temperature controlled. However on a budget you can get a cheap hobby style iron and manually control the temperature by switching it on for the time you need it and switching it off again while you prepare the next joint. That way the iron doesn't get too hot that it burns the flux in the solder and makes a mess of the next joint.

Would that iron be ok?
