Soldering iron XTREME Xtreme 4517# 40W (model 08387)

The XTREME Xtreme 4517# 40W soldering iron is a handheld tool designed for general-purpose soldering of electronic components, wires and small metal parts. With a fixed 40-watt heating element and a compact ergonomic body, this soldering iron provides a stable heat source for repair, hobby and light assembly tasks where moderate, continuous heat is required.

Advantages

This soldering iron offers a compact form factor that is convenient for close‑quarters work and portability. The 40W fixed power delivers reliable, steady heat suitable for common electronics soldering and repair jobs. The tool's tip is replaceable, enabling maintenance and adaptation to different soldering needs while the lightweight construction reduces user fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Soldering circuit board components (through‑hole and some surface mount tasks)
• Joining wires and connectors for electronics and small appliances
• Hobby projects such as model making and DIY electronics
• Light assembly and repair of small metal parts

Key specifications

• Power: 40 watts fixed output for steady heating
• Tool type: Handheld soldering iron with ergonomic handle
• Heating method: Resistive heating element for direct tip heating
• Tip: Replaceable soldering tip compatible with standard sizes for this model
• Weight and size: Compact and lightweight for precision work (handheld form factor)

How to use

Mount an appropriate soldering tip for the task and secure the workpiece. Heat the soldering iron until it reaches operating temperature, then touch the tip to the joint to heat the parts to be joined. Apply solder to the heated joint so that it flows and forms a proper fillet, then remove the solder and iron and allow the joint to cool undisturbed. After use, place the iron in a suitable stand and allow it to cool before storing. Follow standard safety precautions such as working in a well‑ventilated area and avoiding contact with the hot tip.

Usage recommendations

For best results on electronic circuits, use a fine‑point tip and rosin‑core solder suited to electronics. Keep tips clean and tinned to prolong tip life and maintain heat transfer. For delicate components, preheat larger parts or use temperature‑controlled equipment if precise temperature control is required.
