KEMOT vx3105 — SMD and Conventional Iron Support is a compact soldering station accessory designed to accommodate both surface-mount device (SMD) irons and conventional through-hole soldering irons at a single workstation. It integrates mechanical holders and user-accessible controls that allow technicians to switch between SMD and standard iron setups without rearranging the workbench, making it practical for electronics assembly, repair, and prototyping tasks.
Advantages
The unit combines support for two iron types in a single footprint, reducing clutter and saving workspace. Built for compatibility with common SMD and conventional soldering irons, it simplifies transitions between fine-pitch surface-mount work and larger through-hole soldering. The design prioritizes stability and ease of access, helping users keep tools secure and within reach while maintaining a clear workflow.
Suitable for
- Electronics assembly lines and small production runs
- Repair and rework of consumer electronics and PCBs
- Prototyping and hobbyist electronics projects
- Service centers and technical workshops handling both SMD and through-hole tasks
Key specifications
- Support types: accommodation for an SMD iron and a conventional soldering iron
- Footprint: compact desktop form factor suitable for limited bench space
- Controls: user-accessible switching mechanism between iron supports
- Build: stable holders designed to secure irons during pauses in work
- Compatibility: fits commonly used SMD and through-hole iron shapes and sizes
How to use
Place the KEMOT vx3105 support on a stable, heat-resistant workbench surface. Mount the SMD iron and the conventional iron in their respective holders, ensuring each tool is seated securely. Use the integrated switching controls to select the active holder or to lock an iron in place when not in use. During operation, keep soldering tips in the designated holders when pausing work to maintain a safe and organized workspace. Follow the iron manufacturers' instructions for heating, cooling, and tip maintenance.
Usage recommendations
Use the support in combination with appropriate safety equipment, including fume extraction and heat-resistant mats. Regularly check holders for wear and contamination, and clean or replace them as needed to ensure stable tool positioning and to avoid accidental tip contact with the bench or components.
