ABSTRACT:
A soldering iron is configured to heat its tip and emit inert gas near the tip. This is accomplished by providing a heater cartridge having a heater pipe with a tip portion and a base portion. The heater pipe has a first hole in the tip portion and a second hole at the base portion. The heater pipe has a passage between the first and second holes so that gas can enter through the second hole and exit through the first hole. The heater cartridge has a grip handle between the tip and base portions of the heater pipe. The soldering iron has a handle base with a cavity adapted to receive the base portion of the heater pipe and at least a portion of the grip handle. The handle base is adapted to provide power and gas to the base portion of the heater pipe. The heater pipe transfers the power and gas from the base portion to the tip portion to heat the tip and emit gas near the tip. The cavity of the handle base is configured to substantially seal gaps between the grip handle and the handle base so that gas does not leak between the handle base and the grip handle.
