Metcal Soldering Iron Temperature

Fixed temperature soldering tips and cartridges offer a safe solution a complete process control and last longer.

Metcal soldering iron temperature.

The metcal hand soldering systems provide users with a wide range of choices to address conduction hand soldering desoldering and rework processes at the core of each soldering iron is smartheat technology this means that soldering desoldering and rework are always performed at safe and controlled temperatures. I recently bought a 2nd hand metcal soldering iron 13 56 mhz tech along with a bunch of new old stock tips. Tip temperature is the maximum achievable temperature of the heater alloy. Soldering desoldering rework systems.

The measurable tip temperature of the tip will vary based on tip geometry and mass of the tip and will be lower than the max tip temperature. Metcal soldering tips are uniquely built to sense the specific thermal demand directly at the solder pad and to deliver the precise quantity of energy without any adjustment and calibration. Microsoft word metcal tip temperature docx. A few of the tips were 600 series sttc 0xx and most were 700 series sttc 1xx.

Maximum temperatures for metcal smartheat soldering rework and desoldering tips cartridges 1. Traditionally a conventional soldering station uses a temperature measuring sensor that feeds back the heating element temperature not the tip temperature. I found that the 700 series tips are too hot and not just a little but just way too hot.
