Weller CT5A8 Soldering Iron Chisel Tip 1/16 in Ct Series

Product Description

The WELLER CT5A8 is a chisel-style soldering iron tip from the CT series, designed for precision soldering work across electronics repair, electrical assembly, and light fabrication tasks. The tip measures 1/16 inch in diameter and 1-1/64 inches in length, making it well suited for detail work on small pads, component leads, and tight board layouts. Weighing just 0.002 pounds, it adds virtually no mass to the iron. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and skilled tradespeople working with control boards, wire terminations, or PCB-level repairs will find this tip appropriate for fine, controlled heat application.

The CT5A8 is intended for use with the Weller W60P soldering iron. It fits into service and repair workflows where consistent tip contact and heat transfer to a small target area are required. This includes residential and light commercial electrical panel work, HVAC control board repair, and bench-level electronics assembly. The chisel profile allows flat contact with solder pads, improving heat transfer compared to conical tips when working on flat termination points.

Key Features

• Chisel tip profile for flat-contact heat transfer on pads and leads
• 1/16 inch tip diameter for fine, detail-level soldering work
• 1-1/64 inch tip length for precise reach in tight areas
• Part of the CT series, designed for consistent fit and thermal performance
• Lightweight at 0.002 pounds — minimal added mass to the iron

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Weller W60P soldering iron as part of the CT series tip system.

Installation Notes

Allow the soldering iron to fully cool before removing or installing a tip to prevent burns and avoid damaging the tip seat. Use proper tip-tinning compound or solder to keep the tip coated and extend its service life. Avoid excessive pressure during use, as chisel tips can wear or deform if forced against hard surfaces. Follow general electrical safety practices and applicable NEC guidelines when performing soldering work on energized or recently energized equipment.
