Soldering tip C250 chisel shaped 5 x 1.7 mm for the AP250 and ALE250 irons - JBC C250436E

Large joints pull heat away faster than a slim tip can supply it. The C250436E works with a chisel face of 5 x 1.7 mm and a thicker tinning layer built for repeated work in series production. The thicker layer extends service life but lowers thermal efficiency compared with thinly tinned tips.

Key benefits

• Chisel shape 5 mm wide and 1.7 mm thick with a tip length of 7.3 mm, designed for large joints with a high power demand.
• Heating element and tip form one unit, which removes the thermal transition between iron and tip.
• Thicker solder layer for repeated work in series production, at the cost of slightly lower thermal efficiency.
• Alignment through the anti twist device built into the tool, tip orientation stays the same after every change.
• According to the manufacturer the range lasts five times longer than other brands thanks to its heat management.

Applications

Series soldering on ground planes, connectors and heavy leads, cable assembly and single hand soldering at automated and semi automated benches.

Compatibility

C250 cartridges are developed for the ALE250 automatic iron and the AP250 manual iron. Both feed solder wire and allow one handed work. Other JBC cartridge ranges such as C245 or C115 do not fit these tools.

Standards and compliance

The supplier lists this cartridge as not ESD safe. No dedicated standard is quoted for the tip itself. The manufacturer is JBC Soldering SL in Molins de Rei, Spain.
