ABSTRACT:
An electric soldering iron having a structure capable of electrostatic disturbances of electronic components such as semiconductor elements and electric appliances due to static electricity charged on the user of the soldering iron or static electricity charged on the soldering iron itself. A conductor part is disposed at least on the surface portion of the grip of a soldering iron main body, and this conductor part can be grounded by means of an earth wire, and at the same time the surface of the power cord of the soldering iron is coated with a conductive coating material over the entire length and this conductive coating material can be also grounded, so that the static electricity charged on the user is discharged through the conductor part and earth wire, and also that the static electricity generated on the surface of the power cord during soldering work may be securely discharged.
