Tips for PS-90
This category holds 1121 series tips for the PACE PS-90 general-purpose iron, which takes quick-change tips with a 3/16 inch shank in both its SensaTemp and IntelliHeat versions. It also covers tips for other handpieces of this generation: tweezer tips for the TT-65 ThermoTweez, removal tips for the TP-65 ThermoPik, hot-gas nozzles for the TJ-70 ThermoJet, desoldering tips for the SX-70 and ThermoBond tips for circuit board repair. Widths range from 0.4 mm to 36.3 mm. Tip-heater cartridges for TD-100 and TD-200 are listed in the neighbouring categories.

How to choose Tips for PS-90
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Options | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Handpiece | PS-90, TT-65, TP-65, TJ-70, SX-70 | Choose the handpiece first, each tip is specified for it. |
| Tip shape | chisel, conical, bent, concave, knife, spatula, tweezer, hot-gas nozzle, through-hole | Soldering tips for pads and pins, blades and tweezers for removing whole components. |
| Width | 0.4 to 36.3 mm | For removal tips the size follows the package, such as SOIC, TSOP, PLCC or PQFP. |
| Version | standard, Long Reach, Extended Reach, High Capacity, Thermo-Drive | Long Reach gets to deep joints, High Capacity holds temperature on heavy copper. |
| Station | SensaTemp, IntelliHeat | The PS-90 comes with a black plug for SensaTemp and a blue plug for IntelliHeat. |
Applications
Through-hole on multilayer boards Chisel tips on the high-capacity PS-90 deliver enough energy into plated holes.
Drag soldering MiniWave tips from 1.8 to 3.3 mm carry solder in the concave along the pin row.
Removing SMD parts Removal tips for SOIC and TSOP and flat blades melt whole pin rows in one step.
Removing QFP and PLCC ThermoPik and ThermoTweez tips heat all leads of a package at once.
Circuit board repair ThermoBond tips bond replacement pads and traces from the Cir-Kits onto the board.
Clearing plated holes SX-70 desoldering tips surround the pin while vacuum draws off the solder.
FAQ
- Do the tips fit both the SensaTemp and the IntelliHeat PS-90?
- Both PS-90 versions take the 1121-03xx to 1121-05xx soldering tips with a 3/16 inch shank. The versions differ in the plug: black for SensaTemp, blue for IntelliHeat.
- Why are tips for TT-65, TP-65 and TJ-70 listed here?
- These handpieces use tips from the same 1121 series. The flat blades are explicitly specified for both PS-90 and TT-65.
- Which version do I need for deep-set joints?
- Long Reach and Extended Reach tips have a longer shank and reach joints in deep housings or between tall components.
- What are ThermoBond tips for?
- They apply heat and pressure to replacement pads, traces and edge contacts from the ThermoBond Cir-Kits, for example with a 0.79 x 12.7 mm rectangular face for long, narrow trace sections.
