SUGON T26D Soldering Iron

Ordering an iron for a shop in London and another in Texas means two different plugs, and the SUGON T26D comes in EU 220 V, UK 220 V or US 110 V versions. It's a 120 W iron with digital temperature control from 200 to 500°C.

The listing describes fast heating, a digital display for real-time monitoring, interchangeable tips and an auto-sleep mode that wakes when you lift the iron. It doesn't name the tip system or list what's in the box.

Jobs that suit 120 W

• Stuck shield frames that need steady heat.

• Charge ports with heavy ground tabs.

• Cold, grainy joints on thick boards.

• Damaged battery connectors with large pads.

Working with it

Leave the iron in its stand between joints so auto sleep can rest the tip. Keep the setting moderate, use a tip that covers the pad, and add flux to every joint you rework so the solder flows on the first touch.

The T26D shares its power and range with the SUGON T26; choose by the plug you need. Ask the seller which tips ship with it before stocking spares.
