ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for cleaning soldering irons in which a soldering tip of the type having capillary passages is provided with a tiny passageway through the wall of the tip into the upper portion of the capillary passages through which solder and other debris can be expelled from the tip by vapor pressure. Solder collected by capillary action in a cavity in the tip is expelled through the tublar passageway communicating with the capillary passageways when the working end of the soldering tip is pressed lightly on a moistened sponge. The sponge is mounted in a receptacle which has first and second reservoirs containing water and high temperature oil, respectively. The sponge is kept moist by a wick which extends down into the water. The reservoir containing the high temperature oil has a small access hole which supports a soldering iron with the tip substantially submerged in the oil when not in use. The receptacle also has a removable hood constructed to capture the expelled solder for later recovery and reuse.
