CVC-, SMC- Solder Tip Cartridges are the standard soldering tip range for the Metcal CV-5200, CV-500, MX-500, MX-5200 and MX-5200 series soldering systems. All cartridges are available in 4 temperature ranges, 600-series nominally 330 ˚C, 700-series nominally 390 ˚C, 800-series nominally 440 ˚C and 900-series nominally 470 ˚C. The temperature/series is designated by the first digit following the dash in the part number. e.g. 600 will all be CVC-/SMC-0xx, 700-series will be CVC-/SMC-7xx, 800-series will be CVC-/SMC-8xx and 900-series will be CVC-/SMC-9xx. Metcal recommends the 700-series for the majority of applications. The 600-series for light load or low-temperature applications, 800/900-series for high temperature and thermally demanding applications. Can be used with leaded and lead-free solder. The Metcal "SmartHeat®-Technology" automatically adjusts power levels during each soldering operation.

Metcal SMC tips are available in five temperature ranges and many different shapes and sizes. The links below will open a new window for each specific series. You can also click here for a document containing part numbers, drawings and dimensional information.

• 500 series - 575°F, for temperature-sensitive applications
• 600 series - 675°F, for temperature-sensitive applications
• 700 series - 775°F, for most standard applications
• 800 series - 875°F, for ceramic/high thermal demand applications
• 900 series - 925°F, for ceramic/high thermal demand applications
