Thermaltronics Debuts TMT-ST10 Versatile 3-in-1 Soldering Tip Tester
May 16, 2018 | ThermaltronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Thermaltronics, a manufacturer of soldering systems, incorporating the unique Curie Point Technology for temperature control, has introduced a multifunction soldering tip tester that has the following measurement functions:
- Tip temperature (centigrade to Fahrenheit switchable)
- Tip to ground resistance (ohm)
- Tip to ground voltage leakage (mv)
Additionally, the unit comes with a mini USB port, enabling the tester to be connected to a computer to read stored data.
The large LCD display can show current test information, data stored in the system memory and any “info” messages such as notices or alerts. If there are no “info messages,” this section of the display reverts to date and time.
Included with the tester is a pack of type “K” thermocouples (ST-SNSR-1), a ground wire (ST-GWIRE) for use when testing for resistance or voltage leakage, and a mini USB cable (ST-CABLE-1).
This multifunction tester comes with a one-year warranty and is one of the most competitive units on the market.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
