[TriEmbed] soldering basics

[John Rock]

I have a basic question about soldering.

 

Using 60/40 solder (mp is 374°F, 0.032” diameter) to attach headers to a
PCB.

 

The digital soldering iron (Hakko) can be set to any temperature between way
too low and 900°F.

 

I know it needs to be substantially hotter (>600°F) than the solder melting
point, but what is a good temperature setting for this type of work?

 

Beyond a simple answer, is there a good guide somewhere for future
reference?

 

Thanks.
