This study aims to present the design of a new soldering iron for welding electronic components that work via AC magnetic fields. Moreover, the device has been designed to operate in cordless mode. The system comprises of a resonant inverter that is capable of generating an alternating magnetic field of 250 kHz in the center of a coil of 11 wires. The heating element is a cylindrical piece of ferromagnetic stainless steel with a concentric core of copper, which is maintained in contact with a standard and commercial tip. Additionally, we determined the power factor and the efficiency of the energy transfer with a maximum power consumption of 134 watts. The system represents a good tool suitable for the realization of development boards or electronic tasks.
Se presenta el desarrollo de un dispositivo para soldar componentes electrónicos, el cual funciona a base de campos magnéticos alternos. El dispositivo ha sido diseñado para trabajar sin cableado. El nuevo soldador se compone de un inversor resonante capaz de generar campos magnéticos alternos de 250 kHz en el centro de una bobina de 11 espiras. El elemento calefactor es una pequeña pieza cilíndrica de acero inoxidable magnético con un núcleo concéntrico de cobre, el cual se encuentra unido a una punta reemplazable para cautín comercial. Adicionalmente hemos determinado el factor de potencia y la eficiencia en la transferencia de energía con un máximo de consumo de potencia de 134 Watts. El dispositivo representa una buena herramienta adecuada para la realización de tarjetas impresas para circuitos o tareas de electrónica.
