It's not meant for electronics. From what I've gathered, it works like this: when you touch solder to its tip, it complete's the iron's circuit, and a huge amount of voltage is sent through the tip, creating instant high temperature, and melting the solder.
However, if you use this on your electronics projects, you're likely to fry something by randomly sending huge amounts of voltage through it from its solder joints.
I've been thinking about that, BUT! If you are soldering to one little contact, the electricity is going to be going between one side of the contact to the other. If your careful not to bridge anything, shouldn't it not fry shiz (as someone once said around the time I joined).

However if your clumsy I'm sure you could fry stuff like this:
I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
