Solder cartridge tip chisel angled 1.78 x 9.9 mm 412 °C STTC series - Metcal STTC-198

For hand soldering of pads and leads that need heat quickly, the STTC-198 cartridge from the Metcal STTC series provides a chisel angled tip of 1.78 x 9.9 mm at a fixed working temperature of 412 °C. The heater sits inside the cartridge itself and the temperature is maintained inductively, so neither calibration nor readjustment is needed.

Benefits

• Self regulating tip temperature of 412 °C without calibration or controller setting
• Chisel face 1.78 mm wide transfers heat over a large area to pad and component lead
• Bent tip keeps the joint in view and helps when working between tall neighbouring components
• Tip length 9.9 mm for access to joints on densely populated assemblies
• Cartridge change in seconds with the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces

Applications

The cartridge is used at hand soldering benches in electronics production, repair and prototype work. The narrow chisel face matches through hole leads, chip packages and terminal blocks on mixed technology boards. The higher tip temperature covers joints with a larger heat demand, for example on multilayer boards.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The STTC-198 cartridge fits the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces and runs on the Metcal MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200 systems. Within the STTC series tip geometry and working temperature can be combined freely while the hand piece stays the same. Scope of delivery is one STTC-198 solder cartridge tip, order unit piece.
