Professional-Grade Soldering Iron

The American Beauty 3108-20 is a 20 W pencil-style soldering iron built for melting and soldering tasks. It operates at 110 to 120 V AC with a fixed temperature setting and reaches a maximum of 800 Degrees F in about 5 minutes. The iron includes a stand and one chisel tip measuring .125 in wide, compatible with the 500 tip series.

Suited for fixed-temperature bench work

This tool suits technicians who need a simple, ESD-unsafe iron for general soldering and melting applications at a single heat level. It is not for users who require adjustable temperature control, ESD-safe certification, or compatibility with stations other than the V3700 (5ZHA6).

Plug in and heat up

Installation is straightforward: connect the three-prong plug to a 110 to 120 V AC outlet and allow 5 minutes for the iron to reach maximum temperature. The fixed temperature means no calibration is needed, but the lack of adjustment can limit precision on heat-sensitive components.

Questions about this item

Which soldering station is required to power the 3108 series iron?

The compatible station is the V3700 model, identified as 5ZHA6 in the specifications.

Will the fixed 800-degree tip damage heat-sensitive components on older boards?

The iron reaches a maximum of 800 degrees Fahrenheit with no temperature adjustment, so heat-sensitive parts need shielding or a lower-temperature tool.

How can I confirm the iron has reached its operating temperature after the warm-up period?

After the stated 5-minute warm-up, the chisel tip should melt solder immediately on contact, indicating it has hit the 800-degree maximum.
