Metcal Soldering Iron Temperature

Maximum temperatures for original and genuine metcal smartheat soldering rework and desoldering tips cartridges cartridges and tips 500 series is only available for sttc smtc series conventional soldering irons metcal smartheat technology.

Metcal soldering iron temperature.

I recently bought a 2nd hand metcal soldering iron 13 56 mhz tech along with a bunch of new old stock tips. Maximum temperatures for metcal smartheat soldering rework and desoldering tips cartridges 1. 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. The range includes a wide selection of tip geometries for all your soldering desoldering.

One of the questions we re frequently asked is why don t metcal soldering irons require calibration in fact there are a number of soldering stations that no longer require calibration partly because the ipc standards have changed. Fixed temperature soldering tips and cartridges offer a safe solution a complete process control and last longer. 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. 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. 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. Soldering desoldering rework systems.
