    I did not know in which department to add it, as I am asking for a transfer.
    Gentlemen, I am interested in what temperature the soldering iron should ideally have for soldering (motherboard capacitors)? I am curious about your opinions, because I read somewhere that one is 280 degrees enough for another 430. How do you do it?

    Welcome.

    I think that the heat capacity of the mains is the most important for a comfortable exchange of these elements, because it has to heat up a relatively large surface. It would also be beneficial to preheat the bottom with hot air or a preheater.

    I use a temperature of 360 -370 degrees for soldering.

    It all depends on the equipment and what you sold. Most soldering irons work similarly to the difference in how much they are able to maintain the temperature during soldering and desoldering large surfaces and components that receive a lot of heat from the tip. The surfaces of the masses, some transistors, can quickly lower the temperature of the mains, so that the tin turns into a solid state. Cheap soldering irons melt the tin well, but often have a problem with stable temperature during operation, which is why people often make up for this defect with temperature. Soldering pads and elements can be overheated with such a soldering iron. A good soldering iron solder everything without the necessity of drastic temperature changes. Differences in temperature may also result from the accuracy of the temperature measurement system of the mainsail and its location, and this also has to be remembered because it is important in settings.

    It depends on the soldering iron and the thickness of the tip. I just need to set 260 degrees on the soldering iron, and most solders are doing well, unless it sometimes happens that the plate dissipates heat well, then I overclock up to 300 degrees max.

    But is not it that the high temperature can damage the system or the soldering station itself? Is there anything to worry about stations?

    In my opinion, you do not approach this correctly. In fact, the temperature on the display is not important and ... time :) . The tip of the station is subjected to so much variable during soldering that you are not able to give the exact temperature. In the case of soldering capacitors on the motherboard, liquefaction should take place in less than a few seconds. As several of them are 5 ;) .
    You touch the solder pole and see if the heat flows at the right speed and the tip is not too cold. How do you put a cave and you will only create a hollow in the foot and the rest, if you think about it yourself, do you have arms and legs? The heat is to be so much that the melt liquefaction occurs in a given time. Good stations not only keep the temperature well but have a heating part made with specific tolerances, so the actual temperature on the grotto, not on the heater where it is usually measured, has a stable value and therefore the use of this equipment does not cause frustration attacks.
    Too high temperature, i.e. heating of the soldering field "in one moment" is also not too good because it causes damage to the vias and generally the PCB laminate.
    That's why soldering is the same skill as learned calligraphy :) .

Topic summary

The ideal soldering iron temperature for soldering motherboard capacitors varies among users, with opinions ranging from 260°C to 430°C. Many emphasize the importance of maintaining a stable temperature during the soldering process, as cheaper soldering irons may struggle to do so, leading to overheating or insufficient heat transfer. Preheating the board or using a hot air tool can aid in heat distribution. A common recommendation is around 360-370°C for effective soldering, while some users suggest adjusting the temperature based on the specific components and their heat dissipation characteristics. The actual temperature at the tip is crucial, as it can differ from the displayed temperature due to various factors during soldering.
