## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10553:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10553:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A high-performance, smart portable soldering iron designed for precision electronics repair and rapid prototyping. Bridging the gap between bulky benchtop stations and underwhelming portable irons, it integrates a PID temperature control algorithm into a sleek, pen-style form factor. Whether you are maintaining remote robots in the field or assembling PCBs on a crowded workbench, the HS-02 delivers the performance you need.

Portable soldering often involves compromising on power or ergonomics, with plastic housings that can become uncomfortable during long sessions. The HS-02 addresses this with a massive 100W power capability (via USB-C PD) that heats to operating temperature in as little as 2 seconds, ensuring you are never waiting on your iron. By utilising standard USB-C Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge (QC) protocols, it eliminates the need for proprietary power bricks or bulky stations, allowing you to run off the same GaN charger or power bank you use for your laptop.

Engineered for durability and tactile satisfaction, the main body is constructed from CNC-machined aluminium alloy rather than injection-moulded plastic. This metal chassis not only provides a premium, solid feel in the hand but also acts as an effective heat sink to keep the grip cool. The unit features a vibrant 0.96-inch IPS colour display for monitoring thermals in real-time and includes a protective metal cap, allowing you to safely stow the iron immediately after use without waiting for the tip to fully cool.

*We also stock [the all-inclusive kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/hs-02a-100w-smart-soldering-iron-with-tool-box.html) with a toolbox and extra tips.*

### Features

- **Rapid Thermal Recovery:** Melt solder on large ground planes and heavy gauge wire effortlessly with up to 100W of power, reaching target temperatures in approximately 2 seconds when paired with an appropriate supply.
- **Field-Ready Durability:** Withstand the dangers of the toolbox thanks to a robust CNC aluminium alloy shell that offers superior protection compared to plastic alternatives.
- **Pack-and-Go Convenience:** Stow the device immediately after a repair using the included metal protective cap, which shields the hot tip and prevents accidental burns in your gear bag.
- **Vivid Real-Time Feedback:** Monitor temperature, voltage, and power usage at a glance on the 0.96-inch IPS HD colour screen, a significant upgrade over standard OLED text displays.
- **Versatile Power Options:** Power the unit from a wide range of sources (9V–24V) using standard USB Type-C PD or QC protocols, or a DC barrel jack adapter.
- **Smart Tip Protection:** Extend the lifespan of your soldering tips with automatic sleep and standby modes that can prevent excessive dry burning when the iron is idle.
- **Ergonomic Precision:** Enjoy a comfortable, balanced grip with a compact tip-to-handle distance that offers excellent control for fine work.
