1.Product Name
New Original METCAL STTC-138 Straight Chisel Soldering Iron Tip
2.Product Brand
The METCAL STTC-138 is a straight chisel-style soldering iron tip designed for use with METCAL's SmartHeat® MX series and other compatible advanced soldering systems. Engineered for precision hand soldering and rework, this tip features a flat, broad working surface ideal for applications requiring efficient heat transfer to large pads, ground planes, or through-hole leads. Utilizing METCAL's patented SmartHeat technology, the STTC-138 delivers instantaneous thermal response without temperature overshoot, ensuring consistent solder joint quality while minimizing thermal stress on sensitive components.
Main Features
- Straight chisel geometry: Flat, rectangular tip face provides maximum contact area for rapid heat transfer.
- SmartHeat compatibility: Works exclusively with METCAL's power-efficient, temperature-regulated soldering systems.
- High thermal conductivity: Copper core with iron plating ensures fast heating and excellent wetting performance.
- Durable construction: Iron-clad surface resists oxidation and erosion from repeated soldering cycles.
- Optimized for lead-free and tin-lead solder: Performs reliably across modern solder alloys.
- Precision-machined tip: Consistent dimensions ensure repeatable results in production and rework environments.

Additional Notes
The STTC-138 is not a standalone tool but a replaceable cartridge that integrates directly into METCAL's handpiece system. The SmartHeat technology uses a unique impedance-based control method: when the tip reaches the selected temperature, the system automatically reduces power to maintain equilibrium-eliminating traditional temperature overshoot and enabling true "instant-on" performance. The 1.6 mm chisel face is particularly effective for soldering connectors, terminal blocks, and multi-layer PCBs where thermal mass is high. To maximize tip life, users should avoid abrasive cleaning methods and always apply a thin layer of solder before shutdown. This tip is widely used in electronics manufacturing, aerospace assembly, and high-reliability rework stations where process consistency and joint integrity are critical.
