== Background ==

The Smart Soldering Iron is a high-performance tool with a high heat output and plethora of built-in safety features. It's designed to handle large soldering projects and be user-friendly for those new to soldering. The Smart Soldering Iron was released on October 15th, 2024.

The Smart Soldering Iron was designed to work with the [[Topic:FixHub Portable Power Station|Portable Power Station]] and other high-wattage USB-C power sources like our [[Topic:iFixit Fast Charger|GaN Fast Charger|new_window=true]]. When using an aforementioned (or similar) power source, the iron heats up to working temperature in under 5 seconds.

The Smart Soldering Iron is lightweight and has an ergonomic grip, making it natural to hold and comfortable to use for extended periods. The included USB-C cable is extremely flexible, providing low-friction movement while soldering. The cable also features a locking ring that twists onto the end of the iron to prevent accidental removal. The Soldering Iron’s cap attaches magnetically and is heat resistant, providing a convenient place to stow the iron during use. The Quick-Swap Soldering Tips are easily removable and require no tools to replace. The Soldering Iron includes the Bevel 1.5 tip, which is ideal for most soldering projects, with additional tips soon to be available from our store.

Safety features of the soldering iron include a heat-resistant cap, Touch-Safe Indicator, fall detection, and automatic idle and sleep modes. The Touch-Safe Indicator is an LED ring that lights up to indicate if the iron’s tip is safe to touch. After 30 seconds of no movement, the soldering iron enters Idle Mode, a low-power mode that cools the tip to 200 °C (configurable) to conserve energy and extend tip life. This mode will deactivate when the iron is picked up and the iron will automatically heat back up to the set temperature. Sleep Mode completely turns off the iron when the iron is not moved for 60 seconds. Like Idle Mode, the iron will re-heat immediately upon movement. The time it takes for both modes to activate is user-configurable. Inside the iron is an accelerometer that automatically shuts off the iron when dropped. While connected to a [[Topic:FixHub Portable Power Station|Portable Power Station]], the power station will display error messages and keep them in its error log.

The Smart Soldering Iron settings can be changed through the [[Topic:FixHub Portable Power Station|Portable Power Station]] or through the [link|https://www.ifixit.com/fixhub/console|FixHub Web Console|new_window=true]. Aside from changing settings like set temperature, this interface can be used to view the serial number of the iron and install firmware updates. To use this interface the Iron needs to be connected via USB to a computer with a compatible browser. The [link|https://www.ifixit.com/fixhub/console|FixHub Web Console|new_window=true] is compatible with Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Brave.

== Identification ==

The Smart Soldering Iron can be identified by its model numbers on the backside of the lower portion of the handle.
