## Description

Product Description Weller transforms hand soldering The art of hand soldering has been around for a very, very long time, thousands of years in fact. But it was only until 1941 that a transformer based instant heating soldering method was de­vel­oped by an im­pa­tient Amer­i­can radio re­pair­man who was tired of sit­ting around wait­ing for his sol­der­ing gun to heat up. Carl E. Weller had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to get his Weller Man­u­fac­tur­ing Company going. In 1960, the Weller Man­u­fac­tur­ing Co. in the US patented the “Mag­na­s­tat” sol­der­ing iron which used a mag­netic com­po­nent to reg­u­late the tem­per­a­ture at the iron’s tip. In an ex­pan­sion over­seas beginning in 1959, the Weller GmbH plant in Be­sigheim, Ger­many, along with new plants in other coun­tries, was or­ga­nized to man­u­fac­ture tem­per­a­ture con­trolled irons and sol­der­ing guns for pri­mar­ily in­dus­trial mar­kets through­out Eu­rope and the Near East. Keep­ing pace with the in­creas­ing com­plex­ity of our cus­tomers’ needs, Weller Ger­many be­came the mar­ket leader for de­vel­op­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing hand soldering prod­ucts world­wide. Our prod­ucts were proudly em­bla­zoned with “Made in Ger­many”, sig­ni­fy­ing in­no­va­tion and re­li­a­bil­ity. From the Manufacturer The Weller W60P3 is a 60Watts /120V controlled output soldering iron. Uses Weller "closed loop" method for controlling maximum tip temperature. Portable line voltage iron - no base station required. Iron features stainless steel modular plug-in heater for greater efficiency and versatility. Temperature is controlled by tip - 700° F. Nominal heat-up time with 700° F tip is 110 seconds. Uses CT series Weller tip - comes with CT5A7 tip. Heating element type is in-home wound, plug in. 3-wire grounded cord set. UL and cUL listed. Made in Mexico.

Review: Solid portable iron for quality work - I don't solder nearly as much as I used to, so it was hard to justify spending $80 on this iron. I was tempted to buy the WP25 instead, but in the end, I decided the versatility of this iron may be worth the extra cash. I'll do a quick comparison for those who may not be familiar with how different types of 120v portable soldering irons work. There are two features you want to carefully consider when choosing an iron: 1) regulated or unregulated & 2) grounded or ungrounded. The cheapest handheld irons are unregulated and ungrounded. Unregulated means the iron tip will get as hot as its wattage rating allows it to get, and ungrounded means the iron will have no earth ground wire for static charge to dissipate through (ungrounded irons are identifiable by the two prong power plug, grounded irons will have a three prong plug). Unregulated, ungrounded irons should only be used for tasks that are not temperature sensitive and that do not require ESD (electrostatic discharge) considerations. Making jewelry is an example of a task suitable to an unregulated, ungrounded iron. Such irons can usually be had for as little as $10. In general, if an iron is unregulated, it will also be ungrounded. For more sensitive tasks, such as electronics work, you're going to want a regulated, grounded iron. A regulated iron will have some means of fixing the tip temperature maximum. The Weller WP25 uses a thermistor to ensure the tip temperature does not exceed 750F. The WP35 also uses a thermistor and will not exceed 850F. Both irons are grounded and are available in the $40ish price range. The WP25, being grounded, is an ESD-safe iron, and is perfectly fine for light gauge wires and most board-level work, but it may struggle on heavier joints where 25 watts of power isn't enough to sustain the regulated temperature. The WP35, with 35 watts of power, will handle heavier joints than the WP25, but at the cost of having a higher temperature ceiling (850F). Sometimes this is acceptable, but there are times when it's important to keep the tip temperature down when working on large joints, such as the case when tiny heat-sensitive components are nearby. Like the WP25 and WP35, the Weller W60P3 is also a regulated, grounded iron. But unlike the WP25 and WP35, it does not regulate temperature with a thermistor. Its method of temperature regulation, patented by Carl Weller in the 1950's, is quite ingenious and works on the property of magnetic hysteresis. There is a small magnet in the tip which keeps the circuit closed and a spring in the iron barrel that wants to open the circuit. When a certain temperature is reached, the magnetic field strength is reduced to such a point that the magnet releases its hold, allowing the spring to pull back and open the circuit. Since the magnet is in the tip itself, different maximum temperatures can be chosen by using different tips that each have specific magnetic properties. More specifically, the W60P3 allows you to choose 600F, 700F, or 800F tips. Also, the W60P3 is a 60watt iron, so it can handle those heavier joints, but at a temperature that is right for you and your given task. If you've been researching irons, you may have also noticed the W60P model. While it is identical in temperature regulation to the W60P3, it is not grounded. In general, the only reason you'd want to pick the W60P over the W60P3 is if you have to do work in older buildings that only have 2-prong power outlets. For most people, this would not be a consideration, and the W60P3 will be the right choice. Overall, the W60P3 is a fine iron and its closed-loop method of temperature control is the same that is employed by Weller's classic WTCPT bench iron. While the W60P3 is pricey at $80, its versatility and quality make it a long-lasting worthwhile tool to add to your tool chest.
Review: Exellent soldering iron for the field/projects. - This is excellent and high quality. Bought a lower end from a big box store and it failed while in the field. Really sucked for me had to do a return trip. I am an AV field technician and after my failure I started buying my own gear and expensing it. This W60P3 is nice quality and I like the extended tip. I have a Weller professional dial temp version but I cant take that in the field so this one works well. It gets to the right temperature without being too hot. I will recommend that you also use a high quality Weller solder, tinning and flux paste. This one has not failed and I use it quite a bit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What tips come with it?**
A: The tip that the new Weller W60P3 soldering iron comes with is a very narrow tip. Not a lot of heating area at the tip. My first Weller W60P soldering iron I bought (early 1980's) came with the 1/16" tip. It was - and is - my choice for soldering. I am using my old 1/16" tip on my new soldering iron. Here is an amazon link I found for the 1/16" tip:
https://www.amazon.com/47262-700DEG-16-W60P-ANDW60/dp/B009SB79GA/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1532100012&sr=8-12&keywords=CT5A7+tip

**Q: Will this work with the WD-1?**
A: An internet search produces several WD-1s.  Can you be more specific?

**Q: What is the warranty?**
A: Most of them are one year from the manufacturer. I would with who you are buying from. I returned this one because it had a tiny tip and not good for most stained glass. The one with flat head is awesome!!

**Q: Will this pen work with my weller wtcpt base station?**
A: No. It is a stand alone soldering iron that plugs directly into the 120v household socket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Hand Soldering Irons on this Planet!
*by M***S on February 26, 2025*

I've been using this Weller iron since the early 1970's to now. It is of the highest quality and reliability. The primary thing is that sets this iron apart from other irons is the the TIP uses a calibrated Magnet to control the temperature at the correct heat at the tip (this unique idea was patented). It is very, VERY reliable. Look for the BLUE Handled ones made by Weller with the 3-prong wall plug. These are the Professional irons.
