The PACE PPS 25A Soldering Station is a professional-grade power supply engineered for precision soldering across electronics repair, prototyping, and production environments. Built around the SensaTemp closed-loop control system, it delivers up to 80 W of regulated power with rapid heat-up and exceptional temperature stability of ±1.1°C (±2°F) at idle. The station employs zero-voltage switching to supply high current, low voltage AC output to compatible handpieces, with analog control across both power ranges. Tip-to-ground resistance measures less than 5 ohms on standard systems and less than 2 ohms on ST 25/ST 35 configurations. AC leakage remains below 2 mV RMS (50 Hz to 10 MHz), and transient levels stay under 500 mV peak to 100 MHz, ensuring ESD-safe operation in sensitive assembly environments.
