136ESD exceeds all soldering equipment military specifications regarding electro static sensitive devices for critical applications where unwanted static discharges may damage components. Utilizing state of the art circuit technology and a built in P.T.C. sensor, located at the end of each ceramic heater shaft for accurate temperature control. This is accomplished with a special size allen head screw located on the front of the panel. Heat-up time to working temperature is attained in about 45 seconds. Tip leakage is less than 0.4 millivolts or 0.5 ohm resistance.
Ergonomic mini handle that stays cool.
Handle assembly cord is made from silicone rubber that won't be damaged when coming into contact with high temperature irons. A calibration port is located on the face of the unit thus temperature adjustments are quick and convenient. The power unit is isolated from the A.C. line by a high quality transformer and only 24 Vac voltage is used to drive the heating element. The tough plastic PC housing is stronger to better withstand high impact bumps and abrasions. All materials meet UL standards.
