Choosing the correct tip cartridge for surface mount removal
Choosing the correct tip geometry
First, measure the dimensions of your component. Then, using
the charts which follow, look up your component description,
and match it to the dimensions listed (sometimes components
with the same description can have different dimensions). If
this doesn’t work, try looking up the dimensions of other types
of components; one of them may work.
The tip you choose must match your component. A “near fit”
is not good enough for most applications. The leads must be
contacted on all sides to ensure even performance.
SMT Removal Tip Types
Please note that dual cartridges require 2 power supplies and 2
handpieces. A dual handle support (DHS) is also recommended.
Free Tip Picker Program
Metcal makes available, free of charge, a “Tip Picker” program,
to be used with the Microsoft
is the easiest way yet to get the right tip. Contact Metcal or your
local Metcal representative for a copy. You can also download a
copy from www.metcal.com.
Tip Template Guide
Many customers have said that trying to measure their
components and match them up to a chart can be difficult. That’s
why Metcal developed the SMTC Tip Template Guide. The SMTC
Tip Template is a series of ESD-safe, clear plastic templates in
an easy-to-use book. Look up what type of component you have,
and turn to one of our templates. Lay the template over the
component, and, if it fits and has the correct lead count, you’ve
found your tip. There’s also an outline of each tip at the edge of
the template, so you can turn the template and “try out” the tip
on the component. Contact your local Metcal Distributor or
Representative to order.

Choose the proper Series
Each Metcal cartridge is specially designed to deliver high
power in response to loads. For this reason, you can often
rework with a Metcal cartridge at a temperature 100°F or more
below that of a conventional iron. In the tip listing which
follows, the recommended Series is included in its own column.
If you think you need a different series than recommended, call
your Metcal Distributor or Representative.
Soldering QFP’s, PLCC’s, or other multi-leaded packages?
Let one of Metcal’s Multi-lead Soldering tip cartridges or one of
Metcal’s blade tips do the work for you! It’s faster than
laboriously soldering point to point. And safer than drag
soldering with a bent hook tip, which can abrade leads and
shorten tip life.
In addition, you can use Metcal’s blade tips to clean up pads or
solder components using either wire solder or solder paste. Call
Metcal or your local Metcal Representative or Distributor for a
copy of our Technical Note or for a demonstration.
Need a custom tip cartridge?
If you have a component that needs a tip cartridge
not listed in this brochure, call your local Metcal Representative
or Distributor. We may have introduced a new tip cartridge
between printings. In addition, Metcal has a custom tip program.
Call for details.
Please note:
SMTC surface mount rework cartridges are for use with MX-RM3E
soldering/rework handpieces for STSS/MX Systems only. They
cannot be used with SP Systems, Talon handpieces, or desolder
handpieces.
