Weller PTM8 (425°C) 3.2 mm Screwdriver Soldering Iron Tip for use with TCP (series (old generation)

This soldering iron tip is a screwdriver-shaped replacement designed for use with compatible TCP handpieces from an earlier generation. It is intended for precision soldering tasks where a flat, broad contact point aids in heat transfer across solder joints. The tip is fabricated to operate at a high working temperature suitable for robust soldering requirements and pairs with soldering equipment that accepts PT-style consumables.

• 3.2mm blade width delivers stable heat across wider joints
• Screwdriver profile improves contact on flat leads
• High-temperature rating supports rapid soldering cycles
• Compatible with legacy TCP handpieces for straightforward swaps
• Durable construction reduces frequency of tip changes

• Used with older TCP soldering handpieces in repair benches
• Suitable for desoldering and reflow of larger components
• Ideal for soldering flat leads and bus bars
• Can be used in routine maintenance of electronic assemblies
• Used for tasks requiring controlled high-temperature soldering

It is intended to function at an elevated operating temperature of 425°C to support faster solder melt and efficient joint formation.

The screwdriver-shaped cross-section increases contact area with flat surfaces, which enhances thermal transfer and shortens dwell time.

It is designed for use with TCP-series handpieces from the older generation and fits those specific tip holders.

The 3.2mm width spreads heat over a broader area, making it more effective for larger leads and connections than fine conical tips.
