Soldering tip conical 0.5 x 4.8 mm 412 °C STTC series - Metcal STTC-116

On Metcal SmartHeat stations the working temperature is selected through the cartridge instead of the power unit. The STTC series STTC-116 is a conical solder cartridge with a 0.5 mm tip diameter and 4.8 mm tip length, rated at a fixed tip temperature of 412 °C. It is intended for standard applications where ground planes or lead free solder draw a lot of heat.

Benefits

• Fixed tip temperature of 412 °C for the heat demand of lead free alloys and thermally demanding joints
• Conical geometry for precise single joints and tight component spacing
• Self regulating SmartHeat technology keeps the temperature at the joint stable without setting or calibration
• Tip length of 4.8 mm for defined access to the joint
• Tool free cartridge change on the MX-H1-AVA, MX-RM3E hand pieces

Applications

Fine hand soldering and rework on densely populated boards, SMD joints, attaching thin wires and stranded leads, and access to pads that sit close to neighbouring components. The slim geometry reaches recessed joints without touching parts next to them.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The cartridge fits the MX-H1-AVA, MX-RM3E hand pieces and works on the MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200 systems. Changing tip shape or temperature means swapping the cartridge during operation. The order unit is one piece, supplied as a single STTC-116 solder cartridge without hand piece and without power unit.
