Tip Shape and Function
| Soldering Tip Shapes | |
 |
Shape BCM/CM |
 |
Shape BC/C Shape BCF/CF |
 |
Shape B All-round type which can be used from any direction and is easy to hold at any position. Possible to solder any surface from small to large. |
 |
Shape D This type has a shape like a flat-blade screwdriver and is capable of soldering by applying the tip in 2 ways: line and face. The width (size of tip) suitable for the workpiece can be selected, and it can be used for any soldering work. |
 |
Shape I This type has a thin conical end and is an ultrafine tip which is best suited for soldering at narrow pitches, etc. It is the best for soldering micro components such as 0603, etc. and for repairing high-density-mounting P.W.Bs. such as in cellular phones, etc. |
 |
Shape J This type differs from Shape B and I by bending the tip end and is capable of soldering by applying the tip in 2 ways: face and point. It is used for drag soldering and correction of bridging. |
 |
Shape K This type has a shape like a knife and is capable of soldering by applying the tip in 3 ways: line, face and point. It is used for soldering at narrow pitches, correction of bridging and drag soldering. |
 |
SMD Type: Quad Shape This type is capable of heating many pins or lead wires at once and is used for rework of SMDs. It is used for removal of QFP. |
 |
SMD Type: Tunnel Shape This type is capable of heating many pins or lead wires at once and is used for rework of SMDs. It is used for removal of SOP. |
 |
SMD Type: Spatula Shape This type is capable of heating many pins or lead wires at once and is used for rework of SMDs. Soldering for thermal compression of flexible P.W.B., shield cases, connecter, etc. |
 |
Shape A This type is like a square pyramid and all-round tip shape such as Shape B. It is possible to solder any surface from small to large. |
 |
Shape H This type differs from Shape J by cutting the tip end. It is suitable for drag soldering and correction of bridging. *Not suitable for correcting bridging by standing the tip end like Shape J. |
 |
Shape R This type has a groove at the tip end. It is suitable for removing ICs. |
 |
Shape S It is derived from Shape B, C, D and I, which is used for soldering at the narrow pitches. Try Shape S as well as Shape I or K if the tip end of Standard type touches the nearby ICs. |
 |
Concave Shape This type has a concave (or V-groove) at the end. It provides excellent heat supply to solder joint and ensures sufficient solder flow-up. |
 |
Heavy Duty Type This type is changed from basic types B, D and I by special processing. It is changed by thickening the entire tip to increase heat storage and is the best for work needing high heat capacity. |
 |
Long Life Type (Z) This type is changed from basic types B, BC, C, D and K by special processing. Our special treatment allows a tip to last about two times longer than the standard type. It's the optimum approach to preventing corrosion of short life tips. |
