HCV-solder tip cartridges are the high-power soldering tip range for the Metcal CV-5200, MX-5200 and MX-5200 series soldering systems.

All cartridges are available in 3 temperature ranges:

• 700-series nominally 390 ˚C.


• 800-series nominally 430 ˚C.


• 900-series nominally 460 ˚C.

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

• 700-series will be HTD-7xx.


• 800-series will be HTD-8xx.


• 900-series will be HTDC-9xx.

Metcal recommends the 700-series for many 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/Fiber Glass, for most standard applications.


• 800 = FR4/Fiber Glass, for most standard applications.


• 900 = Ceramic, for high thermal demand applications.

CVC range for heavy load applications.
