A flask soldering iron YT-8272 in a traditional housing with a resistance heater powered directly from an AC outlet. The simplicity of the design makes the device almost failure-free, and with proper care of the soldering iron tip will serve for many years.

The power of the heater is enough to properly solder two copper wires or basic electronics in through-hole assembly technology. The high-quality coated copper tip provides faster heat accumulation and heat dissipation than standard tips, and the touch-friendly two-component handle with an anti-slip element further improves the safety of use. The heater’s high-power output is sufficient to properly solder two copper wires or basic electronics with a wire-through assembly technology

• Power: 60W
• Operating temperature: 500°C

How to take care of a soldering iron tip

The rotors of Yato flask soldering irons are coated with a material that reduces the oxidation of the tip. Long-term heating and mechanical damage gradually degrade the protective layer, then the tip quickly oxidizes resulting in problems with melting the solder joint. Instead of melting and sticking to the soldering tip, the tin peens and falls off. A proven way to take care of the tip is to tin it. When first warming up the soldering iron, apply a bit of tin to the tip of the spearhead and remove the excess, for example, with brass shavings. The resulting layer of tin protects against oxidation. It is good practice to tin the spearhead every time you finish a job.
