2 Soldering Station:
A soldering station has 2 units – a station and an iron. It has option to control temperature depending on the heat
requirement of the soldering job being done. The soldering iron is attached with the soldering station. It is better
and more convenient than traditional soldering iron. It makes soldering work much easier and faster. When buying
a soldering station for mobile phone repairing one must always select an ESD-Safe (Antistatic) model. Goot,
Weller and Soldron are some good and trusted world renowned brands who manufacture, sell and export world
class soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments.

3 PCB Holder / PCB Stand:
A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) holder or PCB stand is used to hold different types of PCB of a mobile phone while
soldering or repairing. It holds the PCB very strongly and doesn’t allows it to move thus helping in repairing. Again,
it is important and wise to select a good quality PCB holder rather than a cheaper and inexpensive one.

4 Solder Wire:
Solder wire is used to solder electronic components, ICs or jumper. Composition of most solder wire is Tin /
Lead in the ratio 60:40 or 63:37. Since the introduction of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) from
electronics, more and more companies are using lead-free solder.
