500 SERIES X=5 600 SERIES X=6
Designed for the removal of all discrete and SO symmetrical components. TATC tip cartridges for
Talon®hand-pieces are always sold in pairs. Due to its shape and design, by simply rotating the
Talon®, a single TATC cartridge can remove a 28 pin SOIC, a tantalum or an 0603 chip capacitor
without changing tips. Metcal’s new Viper Tip is shown in the main photograph below.
Depending on available access, choose one of two desoldering tip cartridge configurations:
standard STDC or long reach STDC. Like all Metcal tip cartridges, STDC changeover takes just a few
seconds. When desoldering through-hole components, on thermally demanding PCBs, always use
the correct geometry for the task. This may mean choosing an 800 series (high temperature) tip.

SMTC
SMT Rework Tip Cartridges
Designed for reworking SMT components, SMTC tip cartridges do it all – assembly, removal and
cleaning. The SMTC range includes slot, tunnel and quad tip cartridges. The SMTC range also
includes hoof tips for drag soldering, blade tips to remove residual solder from pads, and knife tips
for multi-lead soldering of PLCCs in tight places.
Please note: SMTC soldering tip cartridges are for use with the MX-RM3E soldering/rework hand-
pieces for STSS/MX systems only. They cannot be used with SP systems, Talon®hand-pieces or
desolder hand-pieces.
