Desco SH-81 Soldering Iron Round Body Tip 5.5 in

Product Description

The DESCO SH-81 is a round body soldering tip measuring 5.5 inches in length and 0.3125 inches in diameter. It is designed for use with compatible soldering irons in electrical and electronics assembly, repair, and rework applications. The round body profile provides consistent heat transfer to the work surface, making it a reliable consumable for technicians performing solder joint work on wire terminations, component leads, and connector pins. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and bench repair specialists are the primary users of this tip style.

The SH-81 round body tip is suited for both bench and field soldering tasks where a cylindrical tip geometry is preferred. Typical applications include wire splicing, terminal soldering, and through-hole component work. The 5.5-inch length provides adequate reach for confined or recessed connection points without requiring awkward tool positioning.

Installation Notes

Always allow the soldering iron to cool completely and disconnect it from power before removing or installing a tip. Use the appropriate tip removal tool or wrench if required by the iron manufacturer — do not force a tip by hand when the barrel is hot. Follow applicable workplace electrical safety guidelines and manufacturer instructions when servicing soldering equipment.
