Professional Micro Soldering Station

The X-Tronic XTR-SX-90 Platinum is an 85W precision soldering station built for advanced users and professionals who need reliable micro-soldering performance. Its ESD-safe, anti-static design protects sensitive components during lead-free work. The station reaches operating temperature in four seconds and includes a precision handpiece compatible with X-Tronic or JBC C210 cartridges. Beginners will also find the programmable features straightforward to learn and use daily.

Temperature Range and Control Limits

The station operates from 200°C to 500°C (392°F to 932°F) with an accuracy of ±1.0°C or ±1.8°F. A programmable calibration function allows adjustment within ±99°C to match specific requirements. The hibernation function drops the iron to sleep and wakes to 300°C (572°F) in three seconds. A unique kicker bar provides an instant 72°C (162°F) boost for 15 seconds when extra heat is needed for difficult joints or larger ground planes.

Installation and Common Issues

Setup is simple: connect the handpiece to the main unit, select a cartridge, and choose one of three programmable temperature presets. The quick-change cartridge remover and holder allows hot swaps without cool-down time. Users must ensure the correct C210 cartridge geometry is selected for the task; the included conical and bent tips cover many but not all profiles. Calibration drift can occur if the ±99°C offset is misconfigured, so verify against a known reference after adjustment.

Questions about this item

Which cartridge comes with the XTR-SX-90 and can I use other brands?

The station includes one I-Conical X-Tronic C210 compatible cartridge and one SI-Bent cartridge; any X-Tronic or JBC C210 cartridge will fit the precision handpiece.

What does the 85 watt rating deliver in actual use?

85 watts powers the handpiece to reach 300°C from sleep in three seconds and maintains a 200°C to 500°C working range with ±1.0°C accuracy.

How does the kicker bar affect the temperature during a joint?

Tapping the cartridge edge on the kicker bar adds 72°C (162°F) for 15 seconds, giving a temporary boost without changing the preset.
