Soldering tip bevelled 30° 1.78 x 11.7 mm 302 °C STTC series - Metcal STTC-505

On Metcal SmartHeat stations the working temperature is selected through the cartridge instead of the power unit. The STTC series STTC-505 is a solder cartridge bevelled at 30° with a 1.78 mm tip width and 11.7 mm tip length, rated at a fixed tip temperature of 302 °C. It is made for temperature sensitive applications with minimal thermal load on component and board.

Benefits

• Low fixed tip temperature of 302 °C to protect heat sensitive components and thin tracks
• Bevelled face with high solder loading for drag soldering and connectors
• Self regulating SmartHeat technology keeps the temperature at the joint stable without setting or calibration
• Tip length of 11.7 mm for defined access to the joint
• Tool free cartridge change on the MX-H1-AVA, MX-RM3E hand pieces

Applications

Drag soldering of fine pitch devices, connector headers and pin strips, plus rework on larger pads and ground planes. The bevelled face holds solder and carries it evenly across a row of leads.

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-505 solder cartridge without hand piece and without power unit.
