Weller’s HT-Line of benchtop soldering and desoldering equipment includes the WTHA 1 hot air station, WT 1 and WT 1H soldering stations, and WTP 90 soldering pencil.
The WTHA 1 is a 1-channel, 900 W hot air power unit featuring a multi-function LC display with a detailed overview of all functions and adjustable background illumination. The 1-channel WT 1 (90 W) and WT 1H (150 W) soldering power units feature a similar, detailed LC display that allows quick and easy operation of all functions thanks to a new user-friendly menu button. The quick change process of the heating element during operation allows efficient working with several different tip types in quick succession.
The WTP 90 soldering iron, rated at 90 W, features a quick-change passive tip system with exchangeable heating elements. Exchange of the tips is possible while the iron is hot, with tip replacement independent of the heating element.
