JBC Tools C115221, Cartridge Chisel 1.3 x 0.3
JBC Tools C115221 — Cartridge Chisel 1.3 x 0.3mm
The JBC Tools C115221 is a chisel-style soldering cartridge with a 1.3 x 0.3mm tip geometry, designed for use with JBC T115 series handles and compatible JBC soldering stations. Part of the JBC C115 micro cartridge series, the C115221 is suited for precision soldering of fine-pitch SMD components, 0402 and smaller passives, and detail rework where a small chisel contact is needed for efficient heat transfer without bridging adjacent pads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What handle is the JBC C115221 cartridge compatible with?
The C115221 is compatible with JBC T115 series handles. The T115 is JBC's micro handle designed for precision and fine-pitch work. Verify handle compatibility with your JBC station before ordering.
What is the difference between the JBC C115 and C245 cartridge series?
The C115 series is JBC's micro cartridge range, designed for ultra-fine and precision soldering with smaller tip geometries. The C245 series is the general purpose cartridge range with a wider variety of tip styles for standard through-hole and SMD work. Use C115 for the finest pitch work; use C245 for general production soldering.
Why use a chisel tip for fine-pitch SMD work?
A small chisel tip like the C115221 (1.3 x 0.3mm) provides a flat contact surface that transfers heat efficiently to small SMD pads while maintaining enough precision to avoid bridging adjacent pads. It is often preferred over a conical tip for 0402 and similar components where consistent pad contact is important.
How does JBC's Exclusive Heating System benefit the C115221 cartridge?
JBC integrates the heater and temperature sensor directly into the cartridge, enabling heat-up times under 2 seconds and rapid temperature recovery after each joint. This is especially valuable for fine-pitch work where consistent tip temperature prevents cold joints and component damage.
Does the C115221 cartridge work with lead-free solder?
Yes. JBC C115 series cartridges are compatible with lead-free solder alloys including SAC305. Set your station temperature appropriately for lead-free processes, typically 50–75°C higher than leaded equivalents.
