What temperature should a soldering iron be?
The melting point of most solder is in the region of 188°C (370°F) and the iron tip temperature is typically 330°C to 350°C (626°F to 662°F). Soldering Basics: Although tip temperature is not the key element in soldering you should always start at the lowest temperature possible.Click to see full answer. Simply so, how hot…

If your solder doesn’t flow onto the pad and pin within half a second, then either you’re doing it wrong, your iron is too cold, or you’re not using enough flux. The iron should be hot enough that it takes less than 2 seconds to do a good joint every time.What temperature should I solder my guitar at?When you’re soldering, the aim is usually to increase the heat of the lead/component/joint/whatever until it reaches about 370C and melts the solder. When desoldering, generally the aim is to melt the solder directly.
