This soldering station is temperature-controlled: sophisticated circuitry regulates the temperature between
150 °C and 420 °C.
The VTSSC10N is a 48 W soldering station with a temperature sensor in the ceramic heating element. The
heating element is supplied with the necessary power via a safe 24 V transformer, while the bit is completely
isolated from the mains. The control circuitry ensures that devices sensitive to static charges cannot be
damaged during the soldering process. The included bit consists of a copper core that is protected by a steel
coating.
