Product Overview
This Weller soldering tip, 4PTA8-1 (PT A8), is a chisel-shaped soldering tip designed for use in the Weller PT family of tips. The 4PTA8-1 (PT A8) is specified with a tip length of 33 mm and a tip diameter of 6.9 mm. The tip is rated for an operating temperature of 425°C, depending on the tool used, and is classified as tip type HM. The product is supplied one tip per pack.Function and Operation
The text from the manufacturer's datasheet describes the Weller Magnastat system, which uses a ferro-magnetic sensing device to change characteristics at specific temperatures. This creates a mechanism where a permanent magnet is either attracted or repelled to operate a power switch for the heating element, allowing for rapid power regulation during soldering or when idle. The operating temperature for a tip is selected by changing the temperature-sensing soldering tip; the manufacturer offers pre-selected temperatures including 260°C, 310°C, 370°C, 425°C, and 480°C. See the manufacturer's datasheet for more information: See manufacturer's datasheet.Typical Applications
- Used as a replaceable chisel-shaped soldering tip in the Weller PT family.
- Used where a soldering tip with tip type HM and an operating temperature of approximately 425°C is required (tool dependent).
- Designed to work with Weller Magnastat temperature control principles, where temperature selection is achieved by changing the tip.
