Weller 6160 Soldering Iron Screwdriver Tip 5/16 in 2-pack

Product Description

The WELLER 6160 is a screwdriver-style soldering iron tip designed for use with Weller heavy-duty soldering irons. The tip measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a point size of 0.325 inches, making it well suited for soldering larger connections, lugs, and terminals where good thermal mass and a broad contact surface are needed. Sold in a 2-pack, this Series CH tip is a direct-fit replacement for technicians who work with Weller D550 and D650 series irons. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and electronics service pros rely on this tip style for sustained heat transfer on heavier gauge work.

This tip is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a high-wattage soldering iron is used. Typical applications include soldering heavy wire connections, terminal lugs, and sheet metal assemblies. The screwdriver tip profile distributes heat across a wide contact area, which suits flat pad joints and large connector work. The 2-pack format supports bench use and field kits where a backup tip is standard practice.

Installation Notes

Tip replacement on Weller D-series irons should be performed with the iron fully cooled and unplugged. Allow the iron to reach operating temperature before applying solder to a new tip, and tin the tip immediately to prevent oxidation. Consult the iron manufacturer's service instructions for proper tip seating and retention hardware. Standard electrical safety practices apply when servicing soldering equipment.
