[sdiy] what temp do you solder at?

[Brett Maddaford]

Hi all sorry i have checked the archives but couldnt find much there and
everything i do read seems to be different.
 
I was just wondering what temp people recommend soldering standard kinda
parts at....1\4 resistors, electro caps and trannies etc on standard
printed pcbs like the oakley and cgs type. 
 
I am obviuosly getting better as time goes on with so i am pushing the
iron a bit higher in temp so that i can get each joint done fatser and
move onto the next...from what i read a higher temp for a shorter period
can be better than a slighty lower temp but for a longer time on certain
components, is that true?
 
Most of what iread suggest start at 260c and go from there, depending on
the part im working with im usually at around 305-320c is that about
right? 
 
Ive never had a project or part die on me so i assume im doing right but
its been buggin me to get the right answer on this and obviously id
rather find out now if im doing something wrong rather than yeasr later
when joins etc go wrong on me etc
 
thanks
Brett
