MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ANTEX SOLDERING PRODUCTS
Only Antex bits should be used on Antex soldering irons. They have been specifically designed to match the power output of the heating elements. Never apply power to an iron without a bit fitted.

Antex replacement bits are manufactured from high grade copper, plated first with
iron and then nickel to give a longer working life. Never file an Antex bit as this
will reduce the working life. • When replacing an Antex bit, first switch off the iron, then attach the new bit.
• Switch on the power and apply solder to the bit as it heats up for the first
time.
• When you have finished using the soldering iron, always place the iron in
a safety stand. (ST4 or ST6A)
• Leave a little residue of solder on the bit. This will reduce oxidisation of the
tip and ensure a longer bit life.
• Wipe the bit on a clean damp sponge and apply fresh solder before re-use.

The Antex DST range of desoldering bits for SMT components comprise a range of 10 bits with tip profiles engineered to fit the majority of component dimensions. The desoldering of SMT components require enough local heat to melt the solder, but not overheating thereby risking damaging adjacent components or tracks. To avoid overheating it is recommended desoldering is done using temperature controlled soldering irons with the lowest possible temperature selected to achieve efficient desoldering. For any component not listed and for which none of the profiled bits is suitable the spade bit (DST-K) can be 'dressed', using a file, into a suitable profile. These soldering bits will fit any of the Antex Industrial Soldering Irons model nos: A245, A545 or A718 and their static dissipative or fume extraction derivatives. They will also fit Antex standard irons CS, TCS, XSTC and XSD.
