Overview

The Soldron BN25S3 is a nickel-plated spade bit tip designed for use with 25-watt soldering irons. This bit tip is ideal for soldering and desoldering tasks that require precision and control. The spade shape allows for efficient heat transfer and makes it easy to access tight spaces.

Technical Specifications

Material: Nickel-plated copper
 Tip shape: Spade
 Tip size: 3mm
 Power rating: 25W
 Temperature range: 200C to 450C (392F to 842F)

Code Examples

#### Example 1: Using the Soldron BN25S3 with an Arduino and a 25W soldering iron

In this example, we will use the Soldron BN25S3 to control a 25W soldering iron connected to an Arduino board.

```cpp
const int solderingIronPin = 9;  // Pin connected to the soldering iron

void setup() {
  pinMode(solderingIronPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Heat up the soldering iron to 350C (662F)
  analogWrite(solderingIronPin, 128);  // 50% duty cycle
  delay(1000);

// Cool down the soldering iron
  analogWrite(solderingIronPin, 0);  // 0% duty cycle
  delay(1000);
}
```

#### Example 2: Using the Soldron BN25S3 with a Python script and a 25W soldering iron

In this example, we will use the Soldron BN25S3 to control a 25W soldering iron connected to a Raspberry Pi or other Linux-based system using Python.

```py
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Define the pin connected to the soldering iron
solderingIronPin = 17

# Set up the soldering iron pin as an output
GPIO.setup(solderingIronPin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        # Heat up the soldering iron to 350C (662F)
        GPIO.output(solderingIronPin, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(1)

# Cool down the soldering iron
        GPIO.output(solderingIronPin, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```

Note: These examples assume that the soldering iron is properly connected to the control board (Arduino or Raspberry Pi) and that the power supply is suitable for the 25W soldering iron. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with high-temperature devices.

Safety Precautions

Always handle the soldering iron with care to avoid burns or electrical shock.
 Ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free from flammable materials.
 Use protective gear such as safety glasses, gloves, and a soldering iron stand when working with the soldering iron.
 Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the soldering iron and control board.
