Electronics Workbench

The electronics workbench allows for students to assemble and test circuit boards.  The workbench is designed to reduce static discharge and allow for students to solder and use the test equipment.  The workbench has the following equipment available to students.

Soldering equipment

The lab is equipped with 3 soldering stations.  Two stations have Weller WES51 and one station has an Aoyue 968A soldering station and hot air re-work.  The lab also owns a Weller re-work station that has a solder vacuum for removing old solder.  All stations have ant-static pads, brass sponges for cleaning the tip and fume extractors.  Students wishing to use the solder station must be checked out and approved before using.

Power Supplies
