GVM T115 Phone Repair Soldering Station

The smallest parts on a modern board need a tiny tip and fast heat, which is what T115 nano handles are for. The GVM T115 is a soldering station named for that handle type, aimed at phone board work.

The listing describes adjustable, temperature-controlled heating for PCB, IC and SMD soldering. It gives no power, temperature range, voltage, plug, size or package contents, so check the photos before ordering.

Fine work it suits

• Missing 0201 and 01005 components.

• Jumper wire on damaged traces.

• A cracked joint on a tiny filter.

• Lifted pads near a chip.

Tips

Small tips heat and cool fast, so use flux generously and keep each touch short. Don't press hard; a fine tip bends easily. Hold the tip on a joint only as long as it takes the solder to flow, so nearby parts and the board's thin pads don't overheat or lift.

If you also need larger handles, the GVM H3 runs T115, T210 and T245 from one base and lists full specs. Clean and tin the tip after every job to keep the small point wetting.
