Just for completeness: The MLX90614 would not be the right sensor for measuring the temperature of a soldering tip. The sensor does not measure the maximum temperature but integrates the emission over a certain angle (70°-80°). Thus it is better for getting the temperature of larger things like an oven. Otherwise you have to put the sensor very near to the object like a medical ear thermometer.
