⚠️ Lead Time: 3–4 weeks. Contact MTE Solutions at 651-600-3838 to confirm availability before ordering.
The Thermaltronics TM70CH179 is a 700 Series chisel 30° soldering tip with a 1.0mm (0.04") tip width and 6.40mm (0.25") tip length, designed for use with Thermaltronics TMT-5000S-1 and TMT-5000S-2 soldering systems. The 700 Series tips are engineered for standard soldering applications across a wide range of electronics assembly tasks — delivering reliable thermal performance for general SMD and through-hole work. The angled 30° chisel geometry provides excellent pad access in tight board areas, while the 1.0mm width offers good thermal contact for small to medium solder joints without excess heat spread to adjacent components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Thermaltronics stations is the TM70CH179 compatible with?
The TM70CH179 is designed for use with Thermaltronics TMT-5000S-1 and TMT-5000S-2 soldering systems. It is not compatible with all Thermaltronics stations. Verify your station model before ordering. Contact MTE Solutions at 651-600-3838 if you are unsure which tip series is correct for your system.
What does the 700 Series designation mean?
The 700 Series designation refers to Thermaltronics’ tip temperature range classification for TMT-5000S systems. 700 Series tips are engineered for standard soldering temperature ranges suitable for most general electronics assembly applications, including both leaded and lead-free soldering at typical operating temperatures.
Why choose a chisel 30° tip over a standard flat chisel?
The 30° angled chisel provides better access to pads in confined areas where a straight chisel cannot reach cleanly — particularly useful on densely populated PCBs, near board edges, or when working at an angle under component overhang. The angled face also allows drag soldering along a row of fine-pitch leads with good thermal contact.
Why is the lead time 3–4 weeks?
The TM70CH179 is a special-order item sourced directly from Thermaltronics and is not stocked on-shelf. Lead time is typically 3–4 weeks from order placement. Contact MTE Solutions at 651-600-3838 before ordering to confirm current availability and lead time.
Is the TM70CH179 suitable for lead-free soldering?
Yes — Thermaltronics 700 Series tips are suitable for both leaded (SnPb) and lead-free (SAC305 and other alloys) soldering. Ensure your TMT-5000S station is set to the appropriate temperature profile for the alloy being used.
