A soldering station has a [[temperature]] control and consists of an electrical power supply, control circuitry with provision for user adjustment of temperature and display,  and a soldering iron or soldering head with a tip temperature sensor. The station will normally have a stand for the hot iron when not in use, and a wet sponge for cleaning. It is most commonly used for soldering electronic components. Other functions may be combined; for example a [[rework station]], mainly for [[Surface-mount device|surface-mount components]] may have a [[hot air gun]], vacuum pickup tool, and a soldering head; a desoldering station will have a desoldering head with vacuum pump for desoldering [[through-hole]] components, and a soldering iron head.
