Ideal-tek 702A.DG.ITU Full Plastic tweezers 702A.DG, Delrin, OAL 115mm, 4.53in
Ideal-tek 702A.DG.ITU Full Plastic tweezers 702A.DG, Delrin, OAL 115mm, 4.53in
The Ideal-tek 702A.DG.ITU full plastic tweezers are designed for holding very fragile flat components. Their straight, rounded, flat tips provide a plastic contact surface where direct metal contact is undesirable. The 115 mm tool uses DG glass-fiber-reinforced POM plastic and weighs 5 g.
Ideal-tek describes the material as electrically insulating with good chemical resistance. This model is not ESD safe. Electrical insulation does not mean static-dissipative performance or establish suitability for handling static-sensitive components.
Best Uses / Applications
- Fragile flat-component handling: evaluate the rounded, flat tips against the intended gripping surface and permitted contact pressure.
- Non-metallic contact tasks: consider where plastic contact is preferred, while testing for marking, contamination and wear on the actual component.
- Precision bench and laboratory assembly: assess access, visibility and controlled release using the real part and fixture.
- Medical-device manufacturing and controlled-environment tasks: evaluate cleanliness, material compatibility and contact restrictions separately. This listing does not establish sterility, an ISO cleanroom classification or suitability for patient use.
Key Features
- Full plastic construction in DG glass-fiber-reinforced POM.
- Type 702A straight tips, described by Ideal-tek as very fine, round and flat.
- 2.00 mm tip width and 0.50 mm tip thickness.
- 115 mm overall length and 5 g net weight.
- Standard squeeze action, not reverse action.
- Manufacturer-listed RoHS compliance; not ESD safe.

Selection Comparison
| Requirement | How to evaluate this model |
|---|---|
| Plastic contact with a fragile flat part | Assess the rounded, flat tips, 2.00 mm width and 0.50 mm thickness against the allowed gripping area. |
| Avoiding direct metal contact | Full plastic construction provides a different contact material from metal tweezers, but does not guarantee scratch-free or contamination-free handling. |
| Very fine pointed access | Compare with a pointed-tip style where clearance requires it. Select by measured geometry, not the word “fine” alone. |
| Static-sensitive handling | This model is not ESD safe. Evaluate an appropriately designated alternative within the approved static-control process. |
| Exposure to cleaning agents or process chemicals | Confirm compatibility for the exact chemical, concentration, temperature and exposure time rather than relying on a general chemical-resistance description. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 702A.DG.ITU designed to handle?
Ideal-tek describes Type 702A for applications requiring a very fragile flat component to be held. Evaluate the tool using the actual part, fixture, contact surface and permitted pressure.
Are these plastic tweezers ESD safe?
No. The manufacturer explicitly lists this model as not ESD safe. Its electrical insulation must not be confused with ESD-dissipative performance. Follow the approved process for static-sensitive work.
What material is DG?
The manufacturer identifies this model's DG material as glass-fiber-reinforced POM plastic. Consult the linked material sheet when assessing compatibility; do not assume properties from a different plastic tweezer grade apply.
Do plastic tips guarantee scratch-free handling?
No. Debris, wear, pressure and the component's surface can affect the result. Inspect contact surfaces and test representative parts before standardizing the tool.
What are the tip dimensions and overall length?
The straight, rounded, flat tips measure 2.00 mm wide and 0.50 mm thick. Overall length is 115 mm / 4.528 in, with a net weight of 5 g.
Can the tweezers be used with any cleaning solvent or sterilization process?
No universal compatibility is established here. Confirm the exact chemical and process conditions for the complete tool. A general chemical-resistance statement does not validate repeated cleaning or sterilization.
Are these reverse-action tweezers, and how should they be inspected?
They use standard squeeze action, not reverse action. Inspect tips for alignment, debris, wear or damage before use. Remove damaged tools from service and use a cleaning method confirmed compatible with the production process.
