Soldering tip bevelled 60° 1 x 0.51 mm, 485 °C, STTC series - Metcal STTC-846
Ceramic substrates and joints with a large thermal mass drain heat faster than a standard tip can replace it. The STTC-846 runs at a tip temperature of 485 °C and delivers that heat through a long 60° bevelled face of 1 x 0.51 mm with a tip length of 14.2 mm. It fits the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces of the Metcal MX platform.

Description
Heavy copper planes, ceramic substrates and components tied into large ground areas pull heat out of a joint quicker than an ordinary tip can supply it. The Metcal STTC-846 answers that with a 485 °C working temperature and a long 60° bevelled face of 1 x 0.51 mm that holds a solder reservoir and drives the heat straight into the connection.
Benefits
- Tip temperature of 485 °C for high thermal mass joints and ceramic substrates
- Bevelled 1 x 0.51 mm geometry holds solder well for drag soldering and larger pads
- Long 14.2 mm tip reaches recessed or shielded joints
- Metcal SmartHeat technology regulates temperature inside the tip, with no calibration and no temperature dial
- Cartridge can be changed during operation without tools
Applications
Soldering and rework on ceramic substrates, on ground planes and shielding cans, on heavy connector pins and on through-hole parts with strong heat dissipation. The bevelled face also suits dragging solder along coarser pitch rows.
Compatibility and scope of delivery
The cartridge works with the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces and therefore with the MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200 power units. One STTC-846 soldering cartridge is supplied per order unit.
