Thermaltronics M7C300, Conical Soldering Tip, 0.4mm (0.016")
Thermaltronics M7C300 Conical Soldering Tip — 0.4mm (0.016")
The Thermaltronics M7C300 is a conical soldering tip with a fine 0.4mm (0.016") point, designed for precision soldering work on small pads, SMD components, and tight-pitch assemblies. Part of the Thermaltronics M Series 700 Series tip family, the M7C300 is compatible with the Thermaltronics TMT-9000S soldering station and is a direct cross-reference for use with Metcal MX-500, MX-5000, and MX-5200 systems. The conical tip geometry delivers a concentrated heat transfer point ideal for fine detail work, through-hole component soldering, and point-to-point connections where tip access is limited.
0.4mm conical tip | 700 Series | Compatible with TMT-9000S, MX-500, MX-5000, MX-5200
Note: 3–4 week lead time. Contact MTE Solutions at 651.600.3838 to confirm availability before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What soldering stations is the M7C300 compatible with?
The M7C300 is compatible with the Thermaltronics TMT-9000S-1 and TMT-9000S-2 soldering stations, as well as Metcal MX-500, MX-5000, and MX-5200 systems. It is not compatible with Hakko FX-888D or other non-MX platform stations.
What is the difference between the M7C300 and the M7C300H?
The M7C300 is the standard 700 Series conical tip suitable for most soldering applications. The M7C300H is the Power Plus version with higher thermal output, designed for applications with larger thermal mass or faster heat recovery requirements. If your joints are slow to wet or you’re soldering to ground planes, the M7C300H may perform better.
Is the M7C300 a Hakko-compatible tip?
The Thermaltronics M Series tips are designed for the Thermaltronics TMT-9000S and Metcal MX platforms — not the Hakko FX-888D or T18/T15 series. If you need a Hakko-compatible conical tip in this size range, contact MTE Solutions at 651.600.3838 for the correct Hakko tip cross-reference.
Why does the M7C300 have a 3–4 week lead time?
Thermaltronics tips are manufactured to order and typically ship within 3–4 weeks. Contact MTE Solutions to confirm current stock availability before placing an order if your timeline is critical.
What tip style should I choose for fine SMD soldering?
The conical tip (M7C300) is ideal for point-contact work on small SMD pads and through-hole pins. For drag soldering or larger SMD pads, a chisel or bevel tip may transfer heat more efficiently. Contact MTE Solutions for tip selection guidance based on your specific application.
