What temperature does this soldering gun reach?

Unfortunately, i'm currently not at work so I can't tell you the exact temperature. The 1000 degree temp spec. is probably close to the mark. This gun get's incredibly hot! If you need an exact temp., please let me know.

It sure will. Lead free solder takes a higher temp to allow proper flow and this will easily reach that temperature within 20 seconds of startup.

The soldering iron varies from 350F to 850F. So you have plenty of control over the temp. I normally use around 750F.

Depends on the handle , you have to heat the handle to the point where the solder will flow into the repair ,if your material is too thin where your heating it could simply melt away.

I use this in a gun safe at about 70 deg. But I tested it from about +30 to about +100 degrees and it was right on. Maybe someone can help more.

For soldering normal circuit cards start at 600 degrees and work up by 10 degrees or so until you're getting solder melt within 2 seconds of contact.

I don't know how scientific this is but using my Ray-Tek MiniTemp Laser and waiting 10 minutes for the WARM setting to stabilize, I checked the surface temperature at various places on the griddle as soon as the light went OUT. As high as 220 near the probe (SW) to 215 NW corner to 216 NE corner to 210 SE corner to 198 in the middle. Again, this is NOT very scientific but it should give you some idea.

I'd say that a soldering gun is too heavy a soldering tool for that type of repair. I'd op-ed for either a good quality soldering station or a portable iron like the Iso-Tip. I used this one for small parts soldering as will as SMT. You can buy a verity of tips to suit your needs. Hopes this helps.

my research says yes using 400 + degrees. Use adjustable temp control. I have not tried the lead Free solder Geri

The soldering gun works for solder base metals, steel, copper, brass, as well as gold and silver. It will NOT solder aluminum. Sure I have seen aluminum solder and flux....it doesn't really work all that well. This is not the fault of the gun, but the properties of aluminum.Harriete Estel Berman

Hot enough that you cannot hold you finger on it for more than half a second, but not so hot that it would catch something on fire. Not sure about exact temp, but I would say 120 degrees.

I haven't used my soldering iron this year though from what I remember it was within 5 min. I was soldering solar cells and the variable temp was important. I'm happy with it.Michael SedonaCreations.com

This has a variable temperature control. It would good for soldering printed circuit boards.

i do not know of one, but i will say it is a two part epoxy, so that is probably well outside of the range. if you want to affix two things at those temperatures, I would use a high temp solder if electrical conductivity is not a concern. otherwise, you may have to mechanically attach them with something.

No temp. control. Turn the switch on, wait a few seconds, hold the button down, then 10 seconds later it's probably 450F or more (my solder melts at 380F). I think it may get hotter than that, but you can't set or control it.

No, it doesn't generate enough heat to melt solder or even pinpoint like a soldering gun. I see the other guy said it would but I still doubt it. You should take a piece of solder and hold the heat gun on it and see if it will melt. This will answer your question if you don't believe my answer.

The melting point of 99.3% Tin, 0.7% Copper solder is 455 °F (227 °C) As with any solder wire, you'll need to bring your iron 200-300 °F above that point in order to adequately heat your work piece so you don't end up with a cold joint. Because this is a fairly high melting point solder, it's not preferable for more delicate electronics (ICs, surface mount components), but should be fine for things like through-hole resistors, wires, etc.
