A soldering iron is used to solder small components like capacitor, resistor, diode, transistor, regulator, speaker, microphone, display etc. A 50 watt soldering iron is good enough for most mobile phone repairing job.
When buying a soldering iron, select the one that is easy to hold and does not burn you hand. The soldering iron must have option to choose and select different types and shapes of soldering tips or bits. These tips or bits must be replaceable. It must also be ESD-Safe (Antistatic) because most electronic components in a mobile phone are very sensitive and can get damaged due to static charge or static electricity. Goot and Weller are two world renowned brands who manufacture, sell and export world class soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments.

2. Soldering Station
A soldering station has 2 units – a station and an iron. It has option to control temperature depending on the heat requirement of the soldering job being done. The soldering iron is attached with the soldering station. It is better and more convenient than traditional soldering iron. It makes soldering work much easier and faster. When buying a soldering station for mobile phone repairing one must always select an ESD-Safe (Antistatic) model. Goot, Weller and Soldron are some good and trusted world renowned brands who manufacture, sell and export world class soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments.

3. PCB Holder / PCB Stand
A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) holder or PCB stand is used to hold different types of PCB of a mobile phone while soldering or repairing. It holds the PCB very strongly and doesn’t allows it to move thus helping in repairing. Again, it is important and wise to select a good quality PCB holder rather than a cheaper and inexpensive one.

4. Solder Wire
Solder wire is used to solder electronic components, ICs or jumper. Composition of most solder wire is Tin / Lead in the ratio 60:40 or 63:37. Since the introduction of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) from electronics, more and more companies are using lead-free solder. Lead-free solder wire is available in many compositions but the most common composition is Tin / Silver / Copper in the Ratio 96.5% / 3.0% / 0.5. Solder wire is available in different diameters such 2.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.5mm, 0.2mm etc. For mobile phone repairing 0.5mm solder wire is best suitable. Alpha Cookson is a world renowned manufacturer and supplier of solder wire and other soldering material.

7. Microscope or Magnifier
These used to see a magnified view of PCB or electronic components. These are available in different zoom options like 2X, 3X, 5X, 10X etc. Many microscopes can also be connected to a computer or a monitor.
Because SMD components on a Mobile Phone PCB are very tine, we need a magnification equipment tool or equipment to see the PCB and Components enlarged. There are Tools and Equipment like Microscope, USB Microscope, Table Top Magnifying Lamp and Head Magnifier with LED Light.
