Product Description The art of hand soldering has been around for thousands of years, in fact, a very long time.
However, it was only in 1941 that a transformer-based instant heating soldering method was developed by an American radio repairman who was tired of waiting for his soldering gun to heat up.
Carl E.
Weller had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to establish his Weller Manufacturing Company.
In 1960, the Weller Manufacturing Co.
in the US patented the “Magnastat” soldering iron, which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the iron’s tip.
In an expansion overseas that began in 1959, the Weller GmbH plant in Besigheim, Germany, along with new plants in other countries, was organized to manufacture temperature-controlled irons and soldering guns for primarily industrial markets throughout Europe and the Near East.
Keeping pace with the increasing complexity of customers’ needs, Weller Germany became the market leader for developing and manufacturing hand soldering products worldwide.
Products were proudly emblazoned with “Made in Germany”, signifying reliability and innovation.
From the Manufacturer The Weller WSA350 is a bench top smoke absorber that removes flux fumes from a soldering workbench.
It is suitable for workspaces using more active fluxes with lead-free solder.
The replaceable carbon-activated filter absorbs fumes - includes one replacement filter (WSA350F).
The stand allows the smoke absorber to be adjusted to varying angles.
The fan operates quietly and will not add significant noise to the workspace.
ESD safe.
