The Proskit SI-B161 is a battery-operated soldering iron designed for professionals and hobbyists who need portability without sacrificing performance. It generates heat directly within the proprietary tip material, making it 20 times more efficient than a conventional soldering iron of comparable rating.

Powered by three AA batteries (not included), it can solder up to 160 joints on a full charge and provides approximately 30 minutes of continuous use. The tip reaches 365°F/185°C in just 12 seconds and cools to touch in under 12 seconds, so there is no waiting before putting it away safely.

Key Features

• Reaches 365°F/185°C working temperature in 12 seconds
• Cools to safe-touch temperature in less than 12 seconds
• Equivalent output to a 9W iron at 450°C maximum
• Solder up to 160 joints per full set of batteries
• Approximately 30 minutes of continuous use per charge
• Long-life, iron-plated tip
• Powered by 3 × AA batteries (not included)
• Includes tip changer tool, coil solder wire, and safety cap

Product Benefits

• No mains cable means complete freedom of movement on-site or in the field
