IDEAL-TEK 705.CF.ITU Full Plastic Tweezers 705.CF, Carbon Fiber, OAL 115mm-4.53in
IDEAL-TEK 705.CF.ITU Full Plastic Tweezers 705.CF, Carbon Fiber, OAL 115mm-4.53in
The Ideal-tek 705.CF.ITU full plastic tweezers are designed for holding very fragile, very small components. Their straight, very fine, sharp tips measure 0.50 mm wide and 0.30 mm thick for access where a broader flat tip may be unsuitable. Carbon-fiber-reinforced ESD plastic provides the ESD-safe and non-scratching properties described by Ideal-tek, in a lightweight 115 mm Swiss-made tool.
Best Uses / Applications
Consider Type 705 for precision positioning of small electronic components, micro-mechanical parts and fragile items in electronics assembly, inspection, repair and laboratory handling. The sharp, narrow profile offers an alternative to rounded, flat plastic tips. Use light, controlled pressure and clean contact surfaces: the material's non-scratching properties do not eliminate the possibility of marks or punctures from a sharp tip.

CF Material Compatibility and Handling
The CF material sheet describes low-friction, self-lubricating properties, wear and abrasion resistance, and good chemical resistance to oils, grease, fuels and non-polar solvents. It states that CF is not resistant to strong acids, alkalis, hot water or steam. Do not assume suitability for steam sterilization.
The sheet lists 130°C continuous-use and 190°C short-time temperature values for the material. These are material data, not a validated sterilization cycle or a guarantee of performance under every tool load and exposure. Verify compatibility with your actual process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Type 705 designed for?
Ideal-tek describes Type 705 as suitable for holding very fragile and very small components. Its tips are straight, very fine and sharp.
Is the 705.CF ESD safe?
Yes. Ideal-tek identifies the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic as ESD safe. Use the tool within your workstation's ESD-control procedures.
Is this solid carbon fiber or reinforced plastic?
It is carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. The CF material sheet identifies PA66/CF30: polyamide 66 reinforced with 30 wt% carbon fiber.
How does it differ from 702A.CF?
The 705.CF has sharp tips measuring 0.50 mm wide and 0.30 mm thick. The 702A.CF has rounded, flat tips measuring 2.00 mm wide and 0.50 mm thick. Both are 115 mm long and ESD safe.
Can it be used with steam or strong acids?
The CF sheet states that the material is not resistant to strong acids, alkalis, hot water or steam. Confirm compatibility before use; material temperature values are not sterilization approval.
Does this model use a metal handle with replaceable tips?
This listing is for the 705.CF full plastic tweezer, not a metal-handled replacement-tip design. Do not transfer specifications from a different construction or material version.
