Compact Heat-Resistant Yellow Welding / Soldering Iron Sponge Key benefits — why you need it Faster, more consistent cleaning: removes burned flux and solder residues quickly so your soldering tip heats and transfers solder reliably. Protects and extends tip life: prevents tip oxidation and removes remaining solder that can degrade performance, reducing tip replacements. Durable and heat-resistant: made from a high-temperature sponge that resists deformation and maintains performance over many uses. What makes it stand out High-temperature shield: engineered to withstand soldering heat without melting or warping, keeping cleaning performance stable. Quality sponge material: soft yet resilient yellow sponge designed for repeated sliding of the iron tip without breaking down. Compact and easy to replace: small footprint for workbenches and fume-safe stations; designed as a direct replacement for standard soldering iron sponges. Function, compatibility, and performance Function: effective cleaning pad for soldering iron tips; removes oxides and excess solder when the tip is slid across the wet sponge. Compatibility: suitable for use with standard soldering irons and tips used in electronics assembly, repair, and general soldering tasks. Performance: quick oxide removal, consistent wiping action, and long service life thanks to high-quality, heat-resistant material. How to use 1. Add a reasonable amount of water to the sponge before use and allow it to absorb. 2. Squeeze out excess water so the sponge is damp, not dripping. 3. Slide the soldering iron tip gently left and right across the sponge to remove oxides and solder residue. 4. Re-wet as needed to maintain cleaning efficiency. Common applications Electronics repair and assembly: cleaning soldering iron tips during PCB soldering, component replacement, and rework. Hobbyist and DIY projects: small electronics, model building, and wiring tasks where tip cleanliness affects joint quality. Light industrial or bench soldering: routine tip maintenance during continuous soldering work to maintain consistent thermal transfer.
