Weller 0051512499 WDC dry tip cleaning system is an excellent solution for tip cleaning with lead free solder. Water-soluble fluxes typically used with lead free solder can quickly wear a soldering tip to the point of unwettability. This is especially true when using thin solder wire with little flux content. Intensive cleaning that is necessary with lead free solder reduced the amount of tin, exposing the tip to oxidation. Black oxide layers that form on the surface of the tip must be removed, or the tip will soon become permanently unwettable.
Weller now offers a solution for gentle tip cleaning, the Weller Dry Cleaner or WDC. The WDC uses a special metal wool ball, where dry cleaning is performed in a two step process. First, excess solder is removed from the hot tip by tapping the soldering iron lightly on the soft rubber edge of the solder collection box. Next, push the tip into the metal wool ball and turning cleans the tip. Afterwards, there is still a fine layer of tin on the tip, which will help avoid fast oxidation of the iron layer. Also, the tip will not be shocked, because the temperature remains the same during the cleaning process.
The plastic and rubber housing of the WDC is ESD safe.
