Eclipse Tools 902-093, 50W ESD-Safe Soldering Station
Eclipse Tools 902-093, 50W ESD-Safe Soldering Station
The Eclipse Tools 902-093 is a 50W temperature-controlled soldering station for electronics assembly and repair benches. Designed for 110–120V input, it provides a specified adjustment range of 250–480°C (482–896°F). Its ESD-safe design makes it an option for sensitive electronics work when used within a properly grounded workstation.
For a repair bench handling a mix of everyday joints, adjustable temperature lets the operator choose a working setting rather than relying on a fixed-temperature iron. Match the tip geometry and operating temperature to the joint and solder alloy.
Best Uses / Applications
- Through-hole component installation and PCB repair.
- General electronics bench soldering and service work.

- ESD-sensitive assembly work within an established grounding program.
Key Features
- 50W power consumption for general bench soldering.
- Temperature-controlled operation with a 250–480°C specified range.
- 110–120V supply configuration.
- ESD-safe design for electronics work.
- Service part references include the 902-132 standard tip and 902-174 replacement heater.

Use and Maintenance Guidance
Select the lowest effective temperature for the joint. Keep the tip clean and tinned, avoid excessive pressure and do not file the plated working surface. Return the iron to a suitable holder between joints, provide appropriate fume control and switch off when finished. Confirm replacement-part compatibility before servicing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Eclipse 902-093 used for?
It is a temperature-controlled soldering station for electronics assembly, PCB repair and general bench soldering. Select the tip and process settings for the specific joint.
What supply voltage does it require?
The 902-093 is specified for 110–120V. Confirm the electrical supply before ordering.
Is the temperature range Celsius or Fahrenheit?
The catalog specifies 250–480°C, equivalent to 482–896°F. The former listing's 250–480°F wording was incorrect.
Is the Eclipse 902-093 ESD safe?
It is listed as an ESD-safe station. Use it with proper grounding and the facility's ESD-control procedures; a station alone does not establish workstation compliance.
Which replacement tip is listed as standard?
The standard replacement-tip reference is Eclipse 902-132. Confirm the required geometry and compatibility when ordering additional tips.
Which replacement heater does it use?
The catalog lists Eclipse 902-174 as the replacement heater for the 902-093. Contact MTE Solutions for current availability and compatibility assistance.
Can it handle every lead-free soldering application?
Do not select a station on maximum temperature alone. Check the alloy, joint size, thermal load and tip geometry against the process requirements.
