I have A few questions in regards yo soldering temps. First when soldering a wire for a RX pack etc, thin wires, what temp should I set my hake 936 to? I don't want to overheat underheat, both of which we all can cause damage to related parts!!!NO GOOD!!!

I have been fine for MANY years,Fiest r/c Tamiya Hornet!!!, ok age hint!!! But with a break I've takin, a few years now easily, Also new Soldering station coming, figured I could fish for some type of specs to go by? I usually cranked half way, when the solder flowed like I wanted,Or, tinned a wire in <what I thought> was a reasonable amount of time, I was ok with it.

So In this case. can Perhaps see a problem w/soldering iron going bad/tips/etc..
In the case of soldering 3-4mm etc. bullet connectors for racing packs,Is there a good Range <temp worse> I should hang around? I bought a station for connectors pretty neat,I can stick/lie whichever the application calls for, and like a 3rd hand, it holds the connector, for error free /sloppy free /clean soldering job...

And than the Mother of Connectors, DEANS, <Mini & Standard please> Now these I feel are real important, as in the past, not many times, but ill be honest, it's happened, I've applied top much heat., where as the metal in the plastic housing, would move, or melt, etc...not good...

So a few Basic Heat Guidelines, would be very appreciated, Thankyou In Advance,

Tom
Generally you want to keep the heat between 650-725f for regular leaded solder, depending on the thickness of the item you are soldering. But my best suggestion is to check out this thread which goes over all the ins and outs of soldering in RC and I think it'll help you shore up your soldering abilities
