ESD side cutter Xcelite Slim Line, flush cut, tapered head, 101.6 mm - Weller MS545JVN

Component leads that stand proud after cutting snag on neighbouring conductors and force rework. This Xcelite Slim Line cutter makes a flush cut and reaches between densely placed parts with a head that measures only 11.1 mm wide and 7.1 mm thick.

Benefits in use

• Flush cut with no remaining stub, so the board needs no second pass after trimming.
• Slim tapered head of 11.1 mm width and 7.1 mm thickness, made for access between closely spaced components.
• Cutting edge of 10.3 mm for soft copper wire up to 22 AWG, which equals 0.6 mm diameter.
• Overall tool length of 101.6 mm, which keeps the tool controllable during fine work.
• Built ESD safe with padded handles, suitable for benches handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

Applications

Board assembly and rework, prototype building, repair and test areas. Wherever thin leads are trimmed close to the joint, the slim head pays off.

Application notes

The cutting edge is rated for soft copper wire up to 0.6 mm. Harder materials such as steel, Kovar or connector pins belong in a cutter released for that capacity, otherwise the edge suffers.
