Hi all,
i have ordered a 30W/230V soldering iron for doing some hobby projects online. First instance when i tried to use soldering iron i found the time it took to get heated up was very huge, some how i managed. After some several uses now when i am trying to use it is not getting heated. I am tempted to buy the new one but now want to understand why is it not working.
1. what is the general internal circuitry of the soldering iron? i opened and found one diode probably i think to convert AC to DC.
2. How much time it should actually take to get heated to some X temp. is it possible to calculate using some equations to measure the time?
Please provide me some advice.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
satya
