Picking the right soldering tip

Post by liver231 »

Hi,
I am about to solder some of the lead wires to LED strip light segments and was wondering if you suggest the T18-D16 tip vs. the T18-S4 fine tip. Most important, do you have these in stock?

Either will work. The solder pads on the strip are reasonably large and easy to solder. Both style tips are in stock at the moment.
