Weller CT5D8 Chisel Soldering Iron Tip 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The WELLER CT5D8 is a chisel-style replacement soldering iron tip designed for precision soldering work in electrical, electronics, and light industrial applications. Part of the Weller CT Series, this tip measures 3/16 inches in diameter and approximately 1-1/64 inches in length. The chisel profile delivers a flat, broad contact surface that transfers heat efficiently to component leads, pads, and wire joints. Electricians, electronics technicians, and bench-level assemblers rely on CT Series tips for consistent thermal contact across a range of soldering tasks. At 0.002 pounds, the tip is lightweight and fits directly onto compatible Weller soldering iron handles without additional hardware.

The CT5D8 is suited for through-hole component work, wire tinning, and desoldering tasks where a chisel tip provides an advantage over conical alternatives. Its compact length makes it appropriate for close-quarters work on circuit boards, terminal strips, and small wire assemblies. The tip is a direct replacement unit intended for service technicians and bench technicians who maintain and repair electronic equipment in field or shop settings.

Key Features

• Chisel tip profile for broad, flat heat transfer to leads and pads
• 3/16 inch tip diameter for medium-duty soldering work
• Compact 1-1/64 inch length for close-quarters access
• Part of the CT Series, designed for consistent fitment and performance
• Lightweight at 0.002 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

The CT5D8 is compatible with the Weller W60P soldering iron. It is part of the CT Series tip lineup designed as a direct replacement for supported Weller soldering iron handles in that series.

Installation Notes

Allow the soldering iron to cool completely and unplug it from power before removing or installing a tip. Use appropriate tip-removal tools if the tip is heat-seized to avoid damage to the heating element or handle threads. Tin the new tip immediately after first heat-up to protect the plating and extend service life. Proper tip maintenance, including regular cleaning with a damp sponge or brass wool, helps maintain heat transfer efficiency.
