SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM Meet or Exceed the
Requirements for Lead-free Soldering

Our SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM technology is designed to address the high thermal demands of lead-free alloys and other high thermal demand applications. In concert with our SmartHeat® technology, we have enhanced both the heater efficiency and thermal transfer characteristics of our tip designs. This allows the soldering tips to deliver a significant increase in thermal performance without resorting to the conventional approach of increasing tip idle temperatures, thereby, providing leading thermal performance, process control and eliminating the risk of thermal damage.

Whether you're using a Metcal soldering system that you have had for years, or a new model OK International system, all of these units are relevant for lead-free and have a range of SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM available. Using SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM means changing to lead-free can be cost effective and doesn't necessarily require replacing soldering systems.


SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM for Metcal Stations

For your existing Metcal MX-500 Systems, we have developed a new range of STTC SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM that deliver heat more efficiently for the most common lead-free soldering applications. In addition, all the SSC Tips for the SP200 Systems have been upgraded to deliver additional power to demanding solder joints, without the need to increase temperature.


     

SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM for OK International Stations

Our PS-800 Soldering System easily converts to use SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM for lead-free with an upgrade PS-CA2 Coil Assembly. This creates a hassle free production tool for effectively soldering lead-free PCBs.

What's more, our newest line of systems, the MFR Series, have the PowerTipsTM and SmartHeat® technology built in, making you ready for lead-free applications immediately.





Data Sheets


"We had tried everything, including competitors, for lead-free soldering. We finally tried the STTC-137P SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM and had total success. With the STTC SmartHeat® PowerTipsTM, we saw no difference between the melting time, for the same joint, with leaded vs lead-free soldering."
