Overview
The Electronics Lab is home to a wide variety of electrical manufacturing equipment, including soldering irons, desoldering stations, a PCB mill, a reflow oven, and every consumable necessary to build a circuit board from start to finish. Users will also find oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies, and multimeters to aid in testing and troubleshooting all common electrical components. We are more than happy to answer questions, and we hope to see you in the lab!

Soldering Stations
KSGER T12 Soldering Iron
Manufacturer: KSGER, Model: T12 Cartridge Style
Key Specs: 75W (120W peak)
QUICK 957DW+ Hot Air Pencil
Manufacturer: Quick, Model: 957DW+
Key Specs: 580W (allegedly)
TENMA 20-110130 Soldering Iron and Hot Air Pencil
Manufacturer: Tenma, Model: 21-10130
Key Specs: Iron 50W, Hot Air 800W
PUHUI T-8280 IR Preheating Plate
Manufacturer: PUHUI, Model: T-8280

Test and Measurement
TENMA 72-8700A Dual Power Supply
Manufacturer: TENMA, Model: 72-8700A
Key Specs: Dual 0-32V, 0-5A constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) outputs, either independent or tracking
Keysight MSOX-3012A Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
Manufacturer: Agilent (now Keysight), Model: MSOX-3012A
Key Specs: 100 MHz, 2 Analog Plus 16 Digital Channels. 4 million point memory. Built in serial bus decoders and protocol checkers for I2C, UART, CAN, etc.
Notes:
- To use the 16 Digital Channels ask for the ribbon cable - take incredibly good care of it, they cost >$500 each
- Calibrate probes to each scope channel - critical if measuring one signal vs. another. Set any switch to X10 and use the calibrate menu under the channel menu (page 70)
TENMA 72-13629 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
Manufacturer: TENMA, Model: 72-13620
Notes:
- Can measure capacitance, inductance and frequency (C, H and Hz). Read the manual on how to make those measurements
- Note two current sockets on the DMM, one for 0-600mA and one for 600mA-10A. If you exceed these limits it will blow a fuse but the DMM will still work for voltage and resistance
- Detect a blown current fuse in the DMM by measuring its resistance - if open circuit fuse blown
