CVC-, SMC- solder tip cartridges are the standard soldering tip range for the Metcal CV-5200, CV-500, MX-500, MX-5200 and MX-5200 series soldering systems.
All cartridges are available in 4 temperature ranges.

• 600-series nominally 330 ˚C.


• 700-series nominally 390 ˚C.


• 800-series nominally 440 ˚C.


• 900-series nominally 470 ˚C.

The temperature/series is designated by the by the first digit in the numerical part of the part number.

• 600 will all be CVC-/SMC-0xx.


• 700-series will be CVC-/SMC-7xx


• 800-series will be CVC-/SMC-8xx


• 900-series will be CVC-/SMC-9xx.

Metcal recommends the 700-series for the majority of applications.
600-series for light load or low temperature applications.
800/900-series for high temperature and thermally demanding applications.

Can be used with leaded and lead-free solder. The Metcal “SmartHeat®-Technology“ will adjust delivered power during soldering to suit the application.

• 700 = FR4/Fibre Glass for most standard applications.


• 800 = Ceramic for high thermal demands.


• 900 = Ceramic for high thermal demands.
