IDEAL-TEK 7.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers 7.SA, SS Anti-Mag
IDEAL-TEK 7.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers 7.SA, SS Anti-Mag
IDEAL-TEK 7.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers are designed for delicate applications that require holding a small component firmly while maintaining a clear view of the working area. Their very fine, sharp tips have a 45° curved geometry and superior finish, with specified contact dimensions of 0.16mm wide by 0.09mm thick. The 120mm tool uses sandblasted SA anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel.
ESD selection note: The manufacturer's product page lists this model as not ESD safe. Anti-magnetic stainless steel does not by itself establish an ESD-safe designation.
Best Uses / Applications
- Delicate small-component holding and positioning where visibility is important.
- Precision electronics assembly and rework tasks where curved steel-tip access is appropriate and ESD requirements have been evaluated.
- Micro-mechanical assembly and laboratory handling requiring very fine, sharp contact points.
- Inspection and positioning tasks where a 45° approach helps keep the work visible.
Key Features
- Style 7 curved, very fine, sharp tips with superior finish.
- 45° manufacturer-listed bend for angled access.
- 0.16mm tip width and 0.09mm tip thickness.
- SA anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel with sandblasted finish.
- Compact 120mm overall length with a listed 8mm opening gap.
- Conventional squeeze-to-close action, not reverse action.
- Swiss-made tool; manufacturer lists RoHS compliance.

Selection Comparison
| Model | Geometry | Selection distinction |
|---|---|---|
| 7.SA.0 | 120mm steel tool; 45° curved, very fine sharp tips; 0.16 × 0.09mm contact dimensions | For delicate holding with curved access and visibility; not ESD safe |
| 7CFR.SA.1 | 130mm tool; fine curved CF plastic tips; 60° bend; 0.50 × 0.50mm contact dimensions | Replaceable ESD-safe plastic contact surfaces, not equivalent to sharp steel tips |
| 7MZ.SA.0 | 135mm tool; fine curved ceramic tips; 50° bend; 0.70 × 0.45mm contact dimensions | Hard MZ ceramic working ends; not ESD safe |
Choose the contact material, point dimensions and access angle together. Similar style numbers do not make these tools interchangeable for ESD, thermal or component-surface requirements.
Care and Handling
Inspect point alignment and cleanliness before delicate work. Protect the very fine ends from impact, excessive closing pressure, twisting and side loading. Do not use the tips for prying or as a screwdriver. Evaluate cleaning chemicals against the actual material and process; the anti-acid designation is not a guarantee against every chemical or concentration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of the 7.SA.0.ITU?
It is a high precision steel tweezer for delicate applications requiring firm small-component holding while keeping the working area visible.
What is the tip angle?
The manufacturer lists a 45° bend. The tips are curved, very fine and sharp with superior finish.
How fine are the working points?
The product datasheet specifies a 0.16mm tip width and 0.09mm tip thickness. The manufacturer's page lists a 30mm tip length.
Are these tweezers ESD safe?
No. The manufacturer lists this model as not ESD safe. Anti-magnetic stainless steel should not be confused with a manufacturer-designated ESD-safe tool.
What does SA mean?
SA is the manufacturer's anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel material designation. This model has a sandblasted finish.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. They use conventional squeeze-to-close action, with an 8mm manufacturer-listed tip opening gap.
How do these differ from 7CFR replacement-tip tweezers?
The 7.SA uses very fine, sharp steel ends. The 7CFR uses replaceable carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tips, has a different curve and contact size, and is designated ESD safe. Select the tool for the actual contact and electrostatic requirements.
Where are they made and how long are they?
The product datasheet identifies Switzerland as the country of manufacture. Overall length is 120mm, approximately 4.72 inches.
