I am looking for a circuit that can be used to control the current
delivered to a soldering iron tip from the ac line. The tip is not a
regular heating element as in hand held soldering irons but it is the
wire type found in
the "handgun" style soldering irons. Anyway, I was looking for a simple
circuit employing SCRs, Triacs, Diacs that can do the job. I am trying to
control the current from 3 to 8 amps. Any suggestions? Please email to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I am not very familiar with
circuits that use the above mentioned devices.

Thanks in advance.
