Re: switching BJT from saturation into active mode
In that case, you have to reduce the base drive. Separate bias and signals on the base would probably help.
I would change the series V2 and V3 into one current source - the DC offset is the bias and

Or a car battery, quasi sine wave inverter....
I've done that. Unless it is a smart soldering iron, even a dumb square wave inverter will power it just fine.
The quasi sine wave inverters powered my

Re: Battery powered soldering iron
Unfortunately, a gas one is out of the question for a number of reasons.
Has to be battery powered. Only alternative is an extension lead with several tens of meters…

I am not looking forward to ending up with something newer, though it's only a matter of time with one of our vehicles heading for 200K miles and showing some rust. The other one is

Re: switching BJT from saturation into active mode
V2 is turning the Q1 on very hard, such that it is in saturation, and Vc (product of Ic and R3) is quite large. If you don't want Vc to be so large, you have to reduce the base drive (V2/R1) of Q1 or

Oh critical warning, do not use these in an explosive atmosphere or around flammables like gasoline or alcohol! It's easy to forget there is a tiny fire inside. I almost set a car on fire with mine.
