All my soldering irons have been left unloved for ages and now they need new tips.
Problem is they're not current models and I cannot find appropriate tips.
These are my irons:
Antex ER-30 (30 Watts) tip diameter at 'base' is 4mm
Archer 12W (12 Watts) tip diameter at 'base' is 2mm
Unknown Black handle (> 30 Watts?) tip diameter at 'base' is 4.5mm
Can I just buy tips based upon their 'base' diameter or is there a more scientific approach?
Given that I'm not soldering every day (once a month actually) does that sway the choice of tip?
Cheers
