Luowei T12 Soldering Iron Tips Lead free

Luowei T12 soldering iron tips are

advertised as lead-free and eco-friendly. The T12 is a popular, composite-style tip that integrates the heating element and sensor, which allows for fast heat recovery. 

Key features

• Integrated design: T12 tips feature a seamless design with the heating core and temperature sensor combined into the tip itself. This allows for very fast heating and rapid temperature recovery.

• Lead-free construction: Luowei, along with other manufacturers, specifically markets its T12 tips as "lead-free" and "eco-friendly". The use of special materials and an anti-oxidation coating helps ensure durability during lead-free soldering.

• Variety of shapes: T12 tips are available in many different shapes for various soldering applications, such as T12-K (knife), T12-BC2 (bevel), and T12-ILS (conical).

• Compatibility: While some tips are specific to certain stations, T12 tips from manufacturers like Luowei are broadly compatible with many T12-type soldering stations, including those that are knockoffs of the original

Important considerations

• Never mix solder types: When doing certified lead-free work, you should dedicate tips that have never touched leaded solder. Normal cleaning and wiping are sufficient for hobbyists who frequently switch between leaded and lead-free solder.

• Proper heat settings: Lead-free solder has a higher melting point than traditional leaded solder. Luowei T12 tips are designed to perform reliably at the higher temperatures required for lead-free soldering, with some tested to withstand up to 400°C.
