What temperature to use for soldering on dualsense controller?

I purchased the soldering kit so I can fix stick drift on my dualsense controller. Planning to replace them with the Gulikit TMR joysticks. It's my first time soldering/desoldering.

The soldering iron included does not have temperature control but

it maintains a temperature of 460-485 degrees celcius.

The included solder's melting point is 227 degrees celcius.

I've watched the ifixit video "How to Fix PS5 Joystick Drift for Good!" and the temperature used was 400 celcius.

Is this okay to use if I keep minimal contact time and use the iron when it's not fully heated up or is it too hot/risky and will damage the board?

@alan50997 I would not focus to much on the temperature. It is not the Holy Grail and you are going to deep in the weeds with that. Yes, set your solder station to 400-450 C but ultimately you need to watch the solder, watch it actually liquefy and melt. Remember that the temperature is the tip temperature and not that of the actual solder joint. For that you will need to know how things behave, Never keep the tip on either the component or the traces to long, since you can melt those right off. Make sure your solder is liquid and not to cold or your'll rip the traces and damage your board. Soldering is a skill you improve on by practicing, not by focusing on the "little " things. Develop your technique, get used to your solder and your Flux ( that is a must do). If you have never soldered before, this repair may not be the best to start learning. Get some old boards, any board will do. Then de-solder and re-solder. Practice for a day and get used to your setup. Get the feel for it.

I didn't know that the temperature is the tip temperature and not of the solder joint. It makes sense.

I purchased a cheap practice board to put in the work before going for the fix.

Thank you for the lessons. Much appreciated.

Hi!

Sony is using lead-free solder and so the temperature need to be around 400 (some even use 450 to get it to melt!).

I also do need to use a lot of heat to melt the solder (heatgun hits even 500, and it is working fine, didn’t damaged or burned the board).

So, it should be fine. But be sure that you do not hold the tip on the board longer then needed. Just be aware all the time. Just take little steps. You do need patience and be aware of what happens on the board.

Good luck with the repair!!

Oh wow okay that's a bit of a relief. I'm going to practice on a cheap practice board I got off amazon then I'll get on with the dualsense.

Thank you for the advice.

Alright, that is the best thing to do yes :)!

As @oldturkey03 said, it's for the best to practice first! Good luck with soldering :)!

I am using 450degree and it turns out fine. Because below this temperature I can’t get the solder liquify. Can’t go higher than that. Too risky

Proper soldering takes practice. There are many factors including what you are soldering, tip size, temperature and solder type. WHAT: SMD device or ground connection. Tip: point or wedge, small or large. Temp: low or high. Solder: thin or thick, leaded or not.

Large joints, like on ground connections, require more heat so a larger tip and a higher temp is needed - but you only have a fixed temp.

Smaller connections use less heat and a smaller tip. Your heat is probably OK for you current job unless it involved a larger surface area/heat sink.

Heat is extracted from the tip when you contact the joint. If you have a small tip on a large joint you may never get the joint to the proper temp.

If you have a low temp and a large tip you will have the same problem. You might also damage the joint because you are holding the tip too long on it.

If you have a small joint and a large tip or a small tip and a high temp you run the risk of damaging the joint.

The optimum, is the right size tip and the right temp to heat the joint quickly, melt the solder into the joint and remove the heat so as not to damage the joint.

The solder must flow onto all parts of the joint. It must be shiny when finished. Dull solder is a bad solder.

The tip must also be tinned and shiny with some solder melted on it b4 you apply it to the joint. That will allow a faster transfer of heat to the joint.

If the joint parts have not previously been soldered you should tin the joints also. It is all about transfering the heat quickly and filling the whole joint and parts with solder.

If there are any holes in the solder on the joint, those parts of the joint didn't get hot enought for the solder to flow.
