About POT-21C
The POT-21C is a brand name for a specific model of soldering pot manufactured by Goot, a Japanese company. It is a compact, electrically heated device used to melt solder for tasks like tinning wires and large component terminals, and for preparatory solder-dipping in electronics assembly. Key features include adjustable temperature control with a knob, an LED indicator for heater status, and a “zero-cross” control system that reduces electrical noise. The POT-21C is known for its precise temperature control and suitability for lead-free soldering applications.
Purpose and Use
- Tinning: The molten solder in the pot can be used to efficiently apply a coating of solder to wire leads and component terminals.
- Solder-Dipping: It is ideal for dip-soldering larger parts, such as terminals, connectors, and wires, providing a quick and consistent solder joint.
- Electronics Repair: It serves as a tool for general electronics assembly and repair work.
Key Features
-
Zero-Cross Control:
This feature ensures that the heating element turns on and off at the zero-voltage point of the AC cycle, which helps to minimize electrical noise and improve stability.
-
LED Pilot Lamp:
An LED indicator lights up when the heater is active, giving the user a visual cue to the heater’s status.
-
Temperature Control Knob:
A knob allows for precise adjustment of the solder temperature within its operational range.
-
Long-Life Bath:
The solder bath is designed for durability and is suitable for both leaded and lead-free solder types.
