Soldering tips STTC

Soldering and desoldering tips

The Metcal STTC soldering tip series is engineered for precision hand soldering with SmartHeat technology, delivering power-on-demand through a curie-point self-regulating system that maintains tip temperature within ±2 °C without a separate control station. STTC tips are compatible with the MX-500 and MX-5200 handpiece systems and cover a working temperature range of 200-450 °C, with tip geometries spanning conical, chisel, bevel, and knife profiles for fine-pitch SMD work down to 0201 components as well as through-hole and drag-soldering applications. Thermal mass is optimised for lead-free alloys (Sn96.5Ag3Cu0.5) at standard process temperatures of 350-370 °C, meeting IPC J-STD-001 and IEC 61191 workmanship requirements.

As an authorised distributor for Metcal soldering technology, esd.equipment stocks 127 STTC series tip variants ready for immediate dispatch - covering all standard geometries, sizes from 0.25 mm conical through to 6.0 mm chisel, and specialised profiles for rework and repair. All tips are RoHS-compliant and produced to Metcal factory tolerances, backed by full documentation for regulated-industry traceability under ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality frameworks.
