Tweezer cartridges blade 2 x 16.5 mm, 357 °C, PTTC 600 series - Metcal PTTC-603

A chip or SOIC package lifts off in one move with a heated tweezer because both lead sides receive heat at the same time. The PTTC-603 cartridge pair supplies 357 °C for this, a working temperature kept deliberately low for sensitive assemblies, blade-shaped with a 2 x 1.1 mm blade face over a 16.5 mm tip length.

Benefits

• Fixed tip temperature of 357 °C, gentle on temperature sensitive components
• Tip geometry blade-shaped, a 2 x 1.1 mm blade face over a 16.5 mm tip length
• Heat applied from both sides, so contact time on the part stays short
• For the Metcal MX-PTZ tweezer handpiece of the MX series
• Supplied as a pair so both arms stay thermally identical

Technical data

Applications

Removing and placing chip components from 0805 upwards plus Melf and SOIC parts that need a wider contact face in repair, small-batch production and laboratory work. The low temperature reduces thermal stress on component and board compared with hot air.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

Suits the MX-PTZ handpiece on Metcal MX series power units. Delivery covers one pair of PTTC-603 cartridges, handpiece and power unit are not included.
