Hello!
I know that it is recomended to use low wattage irons when working with heat sensitive components such as IC or transistors. So, I used a 14W iron for those tasks. I suppose it is because low power means slower recovery time, so it is harder to burn something as temperature takes a bit to raise to stationary value.
But now I se a temperature controlled 50W iron. 50W seems like a lot to me. I was about to chose a 20W iron, but I preffer 50W as it is more versatil. My worry is about these kind of eat sensitive jobs.
Should I just use a low temperature??
I know many people are using this soldering station for heat sensitive works, it has a wide variety of cartridges, even 0.2mm.

Many people use WELLER stations with 50W irons and even 80W for these kind of works too, so I suppose I'm confused with watts...
Anyone can help me out?
Thanks!!

This is the station
