Product Information
Full details
The Laser USB Soldering Iron (MPN: 7584) is designed for hobbyists and professionals seeking a portable and quick-heating soldering solution. Its primary benefit is the convenience of USB power, allowing it to be used with power banks or computer ports. A caveat is its 1 Amp current draw, which may limit power availability from some older or low-power USB sources. This iron heats up rapidly to a maximum of 480°C, making it suitable for a range of light-duty soldering tasks.

FAQs
What is the minimum USB power requirement for this soldering iron?
The soldering iron requires a USB power source that can supply at least 1 Amp (5V) to function correctly.
How long does it take to heat up?
The iron heats up to approximately 185°C in about 15 seconds.
Can this iron be powered by any USB port?
It is recommended to use a USB port or adapter that can provide at least 1 Amp. Some low-power USB ports may not be sufficient.
What is the maximum temperature it can reach?
The maximum temperature the Laser USB Soldering Iron can reach is 480°C.
Does it come with extra soldering tips?
No, this model is supplied with one integrated tip and does not include spare tips.
How should I clean the soldering tip?
While the iron is warm (not hot), clean the tip using a damp sponge or brass wool, then immediately apply a small amount of solder (tin the tip).
Is this suitable for professional, continuous use?
Due to its USB power source and design, it's best suited for hobbyist use, quick repairs, and light-duty soldering rather than continuous, heavy-duty professional applications.
Troubleshooting
Iron not heating up
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the iron and the power source. Verify that the USB power source provides at least 1 Amp. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
Slow heat-up time
Confirm the USB power source is delivering sufficient current (1 Amp). Using a higher-rated USB port or power bank may improve performance.
Tip appears dirty or oxidized
Allow the iron to cool slightly, then clean the tip with a damp sponge or brass wool. Immediately re-tin the tip by applying a small amount of solder.
Intermittent power or heating
Check the USB cable for any damage. Ensure the connection at the iron's port is clean and secure. Try a different USB cable.

- Folds down for easy storage and transport.
- USB power is widely available.
Cons
- Requires a 1 Amp USB power source, may not work with all chargers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the soldering iron, connect the 1.2m USB lead to the iron's input port and then plug the other end into a compatible USB power source that can supply at least 1 Amp. Place the iron on its included folding stand before powering it on. Allow the iron to reach operating temperature.
Compatibility: This soldering iron requires a USB power source capable of delivering 1 Amp (5V). It is compatible with standard USB-A ports found on computers, power banks, and most USB wall adapters. Lower-rated USB ports may result in insufficient heat or slow heat-up.
Care:
- Always allow the iron to cool down completely before storing.
- Clean the soldering tip regularly using a damp sponge or brass wool (sold separately) while it is warm but not hot. This prevents oxidation and ensures good heat transfer.
- Tin the tip after cleaning by applying a small amount of solder to it.
- Store the iron in a dry place, away from moisture.
- Do not submerge the iron in water or any other liquid.
