Soldering irons with ceramic heater

Ceramic

— ceramic heating rods have a number of advantages over nichrome ones: they reach the set temperature many times faster, have wide limits for power and “degree” heating adjustments, and are distinguished by a long service life with careful attitude. Ceramic heaters are only afraid of bumps and falls, as well as accidental ingress of cold liquid — due to the large temperature difference, ceramics can crack. Keep in mind that soldering irons of dubious origin often have pseudo-ceramic fakes installed as a heating element.
