About WELLER W 101
The Weller Magnastat system operates through a ferro-magnetic sensing device which changes its characteristics when specific temeratures are reached. This causes it to either attract or repel a permanent magnet which operates a power supply switch. In this way power to the heating element can be quickly switched on or off to either provide extra power for soldering operations or reduce power when idling. Various pre-selected tip temperatures are available to permit different types of soldering to be undertaken. Working temperature selection is achieved by simply changing the "temperature sensiHigh-Performance Soldering for ProfessionalsThe WELLER W 101 is engineered to meet the demands of both general and industrial soldering tasks.
