Weller PTM7 (370°C) 3.2 mm Screwdriver Soldering Iron Tip for use with TCP (series (old generation)

This soldering iron tip is a replacement heating element designed for controlled soldering tasks and fits older TCP handheld soldering irons. It provides a screwdriver-shaped contact point for joining and reworking through-hole and surface-mounted components, operating at a specified high-temperature rating to suit fluxed soldering processes.

• Compatible with legacy TCP handle connections for straightforward swap-outs
• Screwdriver-shaped contact delivers broad wetting area for joint coverage
• Rated for operation at 370°C to support lead-free and general solder types
• PT family construction ensures consistent thermal transfer during soldering
• 3.2mm width offers repeatable solder deposition on larger pads

• Used with older TCP series handheld soldering irons
• Suitable for general-purpose soldering on larger pad surfaces
• Ideal for rework tasks requiring broad tip contact
• Can be used for assembly of larger through-hole components
• Used for maintenance where replacement tips are required

Check that the existing tip interface matches the TCP legacy connector and that the tip seats securely without gaps to ensure correct thermal contact.

The flattened profile concentrates heat over a wider contact area, promoting even solder wetting across larger pad geometries and reducing bridging risk on wide joints.

At 370°C the tip reaches temperatures requiring insulated grips and thermal protection

A 3.2mm contact width suits larger pads and component leads where increased solder volume and heat spread are necessary for robust joints.
