The Weller WE 1010 (WE1010NA) is a single-channel digital soldering station for electronics work, cable assembly, training, and repair. This 120 V North American kit comes with the WEP70 iron, a PH70 safety rest, a cleaning sponge, and a 1.6 mm ETA screwdriver tip.
The WEP70 iron is rated at 70 W, and the station is rated at 85 W. A digital LC display and simple controls set the working temperature. Standby mode and automatic setback reduce heating when the station is idle. Settings can be password protected. Heat-up from 50 to 350°C / 120 to 660°F takes approximately 28 seconds.
The station and iron are ESD-safe, and the iron has a heat-resistant silicone cable. The WEP70 uses compatible Weller ET-family tips and supports tool-free tip changes when handled according to the instructions. Check that a specific tip is compatible with the WEP70 before buying. Weller names 4ETHL, 4ETKL, 4EKOL, and 4ETSL as the required replacements for the older 4ETH, 4ETK, 4ETO, and 4ETS variants.
