Soldering tip chisel 5 mm wide STTC series - Metcal STTC-017

Large solder areas and heavy terminals pull so much heat that narrow tips fall behind. The STTC-017 is the widest chisel cartridge in this range with a 5 mm tip width and 7.6 mm tip length. Heating is regulated by the Curie point of the alloy inside the cartridge body, so the 357 °C working temperature is fixed and needs no calibration.

Benefits

• Chisel width of 5 mm for maximum contact area on ground planes, stranded wire and solder lugs
• High heat delivery at a fixed 357 °C tip temperature
• Tip length of 7.6 mm balancing reach and stiffness
• Tool free change on the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces
• For MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200

Applications

For cable lugs, heavy stranded wire, shielding cans, battery terminals and ground planes on multilayer boards. It also serves to desolder several pins of a header at once.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The cartridge runs on the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces and therefore on the Metcal MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200 systems. It is exchanged without tools while the unit stays powered. Delivery covers one single soldering cartridge without hand piece and without power unit.
