ESD general purpose scissors Xcelite Micro, 8.7 mm edge, up to 0.8 mm wire - Weller 170MVN

Scissors for electronics assembly have to part stranded wire, film and heat shrink cleanly without fraying the cut. These Xcelite Micro series scissors work with bypass blades and cut soft wire up to 20 AWG, that is 0.8 mm, over a cutting edge of 8.7 mm.

Benefits in use

• Bypass cutting geometry, the blades pass each other so the cut takes less effort.
• Cutting edge of 8.7 mm for soft wires up to 20 AWG, which equals 0.8 mm diameter.
• Blades of high quality carbon steel, built for a clean cut over a long service life.
• Non glare black finish, so bench lighting does not create disturbing reflections.
• Light construction with 127 mm tool length and ESD safe design for benches with sensitive components.

Applications

Electronics assembly and repair, cable work, prototype building and laboratory tasks. The short edge and small head help when working close to the assembly.

Application notes

The scissors are rated for soft materials up to 0.8 mm. Harder wires belong in a side cutter with matching capacity, otherwise the blades suffer.
