PTC-tweezer-tip cartridges are the standard tweezer-tip range for the Metcal CV-5200, CV-500, MX-500, MX-5000 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 470 ˚C.

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

• 700-series will be PTC-7xx.


• 800-series will be PTC-8xx.


• 900-series will be PTC-9xx.

Metcal recommends the 700-series for many general 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.

PTC series will remove chips and SOIC-components.
