2-Second Rapid Heating
Waiting for your iron to heat up breaks focus and wastes time. The SUGON T26D reaches working temperature in approximately 2 seconds from standby.
What rapid heating delivers:
→ Start working almost instantly → Minimal downtime between tasks → Quick recovery after touching cold pads → Efficient workflow throughout your session
The heating system maintains speed even under thermal load. Touch a ground plane, watch temperature recover in seconds—not minutes.
Tap-to-Boost: Instant Temperature Increase
Encounter a stubborn solder joint that needs more heat? Don’t fumble with settings. Simply tap the handle against the heating touch block on top of the station.
How it works:
- Tap handle on the heating touch block
- Temperature rises 80°C above your set point
- Boost lasts for 15 seconds
- Temperature automatically returns to original setting
Why this matters:
→ No manual temperature adjustment needed → Handle large ground planes without changing settings → Quick boost for stubborn joints → Automatic return—no forgetting to lower temperature
Working at 350°C and hit a thermal pad? Tap for 430°C boost, complete the joint, and the station returns to 350°C automatically. Practical, fast, and intuitive.
120W Power System
Serious thermal power for demanding work. The 120W heating system handles:
| Challenge | T26D Response |
|---|---|
| Large ground planes | Sustained heat delivery + tap-to-boost |
| Lead-free solder | Higher temperatures maintained |
| Thermal pads | Fast recovery, no temperature sag |
| Continuous work | Consistent power throughout |
Whether you’re working on laptop motherboards, gaming consoles, or industrial control boards, the power system keeps up with your demands.
LED Digital Display
Clear, bright LED display shows your temperature settings without squinting or guessing:
→ Set temperature — What you’ve dialled in → Actual temperature — Real-time tip reading → Status indication — Current operating mode → Boost indicator — Shows when tap-to-boost is active
Simple, readable feedback in any workshop lighting. Know exactly what’s happening at your tip.
Breathing Lamp Status Indicator
The integrated breathing lamp provides visual feedback on station status:
→ See operating state at a glance → Know when the station is heating → Confirm sleep mode activation → Visual confirmation without checking the display
Useful when you’re focused on your work and want peripheral awareness of station status.
Universal Original Handle
The original handle design prioritises comfort during extended soldering sessions:
Ergonomic features:
→ Comfortable grip for all-day use → Balanced weight distribution → Natural hand position → Reduced fatigue during long sessions
Professional repair work means hours at the bench. The handle design supports that reality.
C210 Cartridge System
The SUGON T26D uses the popular C210 cartridge system—the same format trusted by phone repair technicians and SMD specialists worldwide.
C210 advantages:
→ Compact size for precision work → Fast thermal response → Wide tip variety available → Compatible with third-party cartridges
Included cartridges:
| Cartridge | Shape | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| C210-I | Chisel/Cutter | Drag soldering, connectors, efficient heat transfer |
| C210-IS | Small Chisel | General-purpose SMD, medium joints |
| C210-K | Pointed/Conical | Fine-pitch work, flying wires, precision |
Three tips cover the range of typical SMD and precision work. Add more profiles as your needs expand.
Lead-Free Soldering Ready
Modern electronics require lead-free solder. The SUGON T26D handles lead-free requirements without compromise:
→ Temperature range up to 500°C → 120W power for higher melting points → Fast thermal recovery at elevated temperatures → Tap-to-boost for extra heat when needed → Consistent heat for proper lead-free flow
RoHS-compliant work? No problem. The station delivers the heat lead-free alloys demand.
Auto-Sleep Protection
Set the iron down and the station enters sleep mode automatically. Temperature drops to protect your cartridge from oxidation.
What auto-sleep delivers:
→ Extended cartridge lifespan → Reduced tip oxidation → Energy savings during idle → Instant wake-up when you resume
Pick up the iron and working temperature returns in approximately 2 seconds. Protection without interrupting your workflow.
Three Memory Presets
Store your preferred temperatures and recall instantly:
| Action | Function |
|---|---|
| Short press | Recall stored preset |
| Long press | Store current temperature |
Example setup:
| Preset | Temperature | Application |
|---|---|---|
| CH1 | 320°C | Leaded solder work |
| CH2 | 380°C | Lead-free soldering |
| CH3 | 420°C | Stubborn joints, thermal mass |
Switch between tasks without manual adjustment every time.
Four Standby Temperature Options
When the iron rests in the holder, choose your standby behaviour:
| Setting | Behaviour | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 0°C | Completely off | End of session, maximum protection |
| 100°C | Very low standby | Long breaks |
| 150°C | Low standby | Extended pauses |
| 180°C | Medium standby | Frequent use, fast wake-up |
Lower settings extend cartridge life. Higher settings mean faster return to working temperature.
Tool-Free Tip Changer
Swap cartridges quickly without hunting for tools:
- Remove current cartridge to storage strip
- Insert new cartridge
- Continue working
The integrated storage strip holds hot cartridges safely while they cool. No fumbling, no burns, no interruption.
Temperature Calibration
Maintain accuracy as cartridges wear:
To enter calibration mode: Press and hold CH1 + CH3 simultaneously until display shows “350” flashing and “CalTemp” appears.
Recalibrate when: → Installing new cartridges → Readings seem inaccurate → Periodic verification checks
Professional accuracy maintained throughout the station’s life.
