SOLDRON SBS3 Deluxe Spade Soldering Bit (For 878D / 936 Stations)

Description

The SOLDRON SBS3 Deluxe Spade Soldering Bit is a premium-grade, heavy-duty replacement tip designed specifically for Soldron's professional line of temperature-controlled soldering stations. Featuring a precise 4mm flat spade (chisel) geometry, this tip offers significantly more surface area contact than a standard needle bit, making it the absolute best choice for dragging solder across IC pins, rapidly heating large ground planes, and tinning thick gauge wires.

Available at Tomson Electronics, the "Deluxe" SBS3 is engineered with an advanced ceramic-coated metal body rather than standard iron plating. This high-performance coating dramatically increases the lifespan of the bit, completely resisting oxidation and thermal degradation under heavy daily use. It is a direct slide-on replacement for the Soldron 878D Rework Station, 936 / 938 stations, and the SID60A digital iron.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will this fit my standard 25W yellow Soldron iron?
A: No. The SBS3 is designed exclusively for Soldron's temperature-controlled *stations* (like the 878D or 936) which use a hollow slide-on bit over a ceramic heating element. Standard 25W irons (like the SI25A) use a solid shaft bit with a side-locking screw (like the BN25S3).

Q: What is the difference between the SBS3 (Deluxe) and the SBNIS3 (Standard)?
A: Both are spade bits that fit the 878D and 936 stations. However, the SBS3 "Deluxe" model features a specialized black ceramic coating that provides superior resistance to oxidation and wear, resulting in a much longer operational life compared to the standard iron-plated SBNIS3.

Q: How do I clean and maintain this ceramic-coated tip?
A: Always keep the tip tinned with fresh solder when not in use to prevent oxidation. Clean it only with a brass wire sponge or a damp cellulose sponge. Never use sandpaper, files, or hard metal tools on the tip, as this will destroy the protective ceramic coating instantly.
