Frequently Asked Questions
What wire gauge is the Excelta 15A-ST-PE-44M calibrated for?
It is specifically calibrated for 44 AWG wire. Using it on other gauges may result in incomplete stripping or nicking. Excelta offers stripping tweezers calibrated for other AWG sizes — contact MTE Solutions for the full range.
Is this tweezer ESD safe?
Yes — it features an ESD-safe epoxy coating with a surface resistance of 10⁵–10⁶ Ω/sq, making it suitable for handling ESD-sensitive components in EPA (ESD Protected Area) environments.
What types of wire insulation can it strip?
It is designed for PTFE and other coated wire insulation, including magnet wire coatings. The flame-hardened edges cleanly cut through insulation without nicking the conductor.
Why is the tip angulated at 70°?
The 70° angle improves access to confined areas and provides better visibility of the stripping point during precision wire work, reducing the risk of misalignment or damage.
Does MTE Solutions carry other Excelta stripping tweezers?
Yes — MTE Solutions stocks Excelta precision tweezers and stripping tools across multiple AWG sizes and tip styles. Contact us or browse our Excelta collection for the full range.
