Solder Connection, the Chepstow based soldering specialists, have come to agreement with ITW Contamination Control to market the comprehensive range of Plato® soldering and desoldering tips in the UK and Irish markets.
Plato® manufactures replacement tips to fit many popular soldering and desoldering irons, including Weller/Ungar, Pace, Ersa and Hakko among others.
Plato tips are constructed from highly conductive premium grade copper, which the Company claims, transmits heat to the work more quickly than other brands of soldering tips. This quick heat recovery enables more joints to be soldered per minute, thus reducing manufacturing time and costs.
Higher temperatures and high tin content solders, common in lead-free soldering processes, place additional strain on soldering iron tips. The long life of a Plato tip reduces the need for tip changes, decreasing the total number of tips used and increasing productivity.
Plato® soldering and desoldering tips are lead-free in accordance with EU Directive 2002/95 EC. They may be used in any electronics manufacturing process, which produces RoHS compliant products.
Solder Connection stocks a wide selection of popular sizes and styles for immediate despatch within the UK and Ireland. Under the agreement, Solder Connection’s Irish operation will distribute the complete Plato range, including solder pots, sponges and cutters.
