Weller NT1X, Solder Tip Bent Round NT Series .10" Silver Series
Weller NT1X Replacement Solder Tip — Bent Round, .10" (NT Series)
The Weller NT1X is a bent round replacement solder tip in the NT Series Silver Series, designed for precision through-hole and general-purpose soldering in confined or angled spaces. The bent round geometry allows access to components where straight tips cannot reach, making it a go-to tip for rework, repair, and assembly technicians.
Compatible Irons
The NT1X is compatible with Weller WP25, WP30, WP35, SP23, SP25, and SP40 pencil soldering irons that accept NT Series tips.

Industries & Applications
- Electronics assembly and PCB rework
- Through-hole component soldering
- Wire tacking and lead dress in tight spaces
- Repair and maintenance technicians
- Hobbyist and bench-top soldering
Tip Care & Maintenance
Proper tip maintenance extends tip life significantly:
- Tin the tip before and after every session to prevent oxidation
- Clean regularly with a damp sponge or brass wool — never file or sand
- Use correct temperature — excessive heat accelerates wear and oxidation
- Store tinned — always coat with fresh solder before powering down
Frequently Asked Questions
What irons is the Weller NT1X compatible with?
The NT1X is compatible with Weller NT Series irons including the WP25, WP30, WP35, SP23, SP25, and SP40.
What does "bent round" mean for a solder tip?
A bent round tip is angled at the end with a rounded point, allowing access to pads and leads in confined spaces where a straight tip would be blocked by nearby components.
What is the tip diameter of the NT1X?
The NT1X has a .10" (2.54mm) tip diameter, suited for general through-hole and light surface work.
How do I extend the life of my Weller NT1X tip?
Always tin the tip before and after use, clean with brass wool (not a wet sponge at high temps), and avoid running the iron at unnecessarily high temperatures when not in use.
Is the NT1X RoHS compliant?
Weller NT Series tips are manufactured to be compatible with both leaded and lead-free solder alloys. Check the current Weller datasheet for RoHS compliance confirmation on this specific part.
