For over 70 years, Antex has been a leader in manufacturing soldering irons and other soldering accessories. Their attention to detail and promise to provide the highest quality products has made them a reputable, reliable, and renowned maker of soldering tools.
Using the latest technologies, the company has created a number of different soldering irons, all designed to be user-friendly. These technological advancements help to direct the heat to the tip of the tool and keep the handle cool, while the accuracy and precision of these products far exceed that of a bulky soldering iron.
M.M. Newman Corporation’s complete line of high-quality Antex products are available for use for countless industrial and electronic applications. Our line includes both miniature and standard size soldering irons, as well as a number of tips, stations and other soldering iron accessories.
Designed for all industrial and electronic hand soldering applications, our Antex product line features power outputs from 12 to 50 W.

Soldering Irons
These tools are solidly built and constructed to keep the handle cool while directing the heat directly to the tip. We offer miniature and standard size soldering irons. The miniature version heats up fast and has quick recovery times while the standard sized tool has greater thermal inertia for soldering larger components.
Soldering Iron Tips
Tips for these irons are available separately. The miniature iron tips feature multilayer construction and nickel plating that leads to easy wetting and long shelf life. Premium iron-plated tips, gold plated, reshapeable and bare copper tips are also available. Tips for standard irons are available in two series and are designed for higher temperatures and maximum heat conductivity.
Soldering Accessories
Soldering stations and accessories improve soldering techniques and offer conveniences to aid the user. We offer a standalone controller that plugs into an outlet and allows the user to precisely control the temperature. Ideal for soldering heat-sensitive components, the controller adjusts the tip temperature from 150°F to the highest heat. Stands are made from high-grade materials that can handle high temperatures, have a sponge to wipe tip, and can be securely mounted for ease of use.
The soldering stations are designed for more professional use and can be ordered with or without the iron. The stations provide precise temperature control for frequently changing temperature requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Antex soldering irons different from conventional soldering irons?
Antex soldering irons place the heating element directly beneath the tip, which produces faster heat-up times, quicker thermal recovery between solder joints, and a consistently cool handle during use. This tip-forward design improves precision and reduces user fatigue in high-volume or detail-intensive soldering work. With over 70 years of precision tool manufacturing experience, Antex products are designed for industrial and electronic applications where reliability and accuracy are critical.
What power outputs and sizes are available in the Antex line through M.M. Newman?
The Antex soldering iron range available through M.M. Newman Corporation covers power outputs from 12 W to 50 W. The line includes both miniature and standard-size irons. Miniature irons are optimized for fast heat-up and quick recovery times, making them well suited for fine electronic work. Standard-size irons have greater thermal inertia, which suits soldering larger components or applications that require sustained heat delivery.
What tip types are available for Antex soldering irons?
Tips are available separately for both miniature and standard Antex irons. Miniature iron tips feature multilayer construction with nickel plating for easy wetting and extended service life. Additional options include premium iron-plated, gold-plated, reshapeable, and bare copper tips, depending on the application requirement. Standard iron tips are available in two series and are engineered for higher operating temperatures and maximum heat conductivity.
Can the temperature of Antex soldering irons be controlled?
Yes. A standalone temperature controller connects directly to the iron and adjusts tip temperature from 150°F upward. This is particularly valuable when soldering heat-sensitive components where temperature overshoot can cause damage. Soldering stations are also available with or without the iron; these provide precise temperature control for operations with frequently changing temperature requirements, such as production line environments.
Who distributes Antex soldering irons in the United States?
M.M. Newman Corporation is the sole US importing agent for Antex soldering tools. This means M.M. Newman is the direct source for the complete Antex product line, including miniature irons, standard irons, tips in all configurations, soldering stations, and accessories. Customers can download the full Antex soldering iron catalog from the M.M. Newman website for complete product specifications and part numbers.
