TS100/TS101 Soldering Tip – ILS Long Precision Conical Tip

We’re quite sure you’re well aware of it by now, but we absolutely love the MiniDSO TS100 Soldering Iron from Miniware, and have made sure to not only stock these beautiful tools, but also stock a range of other TS100 Accessories as well, with a particular focus on Soldering Tips.

This TS100/TS101 Soldering Tip is an ILS Long Precision Conical Tip, which means that it has been designed in a similar fashion to the TS-I series tip, but features a longer, concaved welding tip so it can reach further into tight spaces and between components for extremely precise soldering. These features make it perfect for SMD Mount Components and parts with extremely tiny pins, although this does mean that it’s not quite as good at soldering techniques like drag soldering or soldering via PCB heat. However, what it lacks in raw thermal transfer capabilities, it more than makes up for it with ultra-precision, and as such should definitely have a space in your toolkit if you’re serious about Electronics soldering.

The tip replacement process is really easy for the TS100 and TS101, and you simply have to loosen a small grub screw unit above the installed tip, remove the tip, insert whichever tip you would like to use, tighten up the grub screw again, and then BLAM! You’re ready to solder again with your new tip style.

If you’re looking for other types of TS100/TS101 Tips, such as bevel tips, chisel tips or precision tips, be sure to check out our Soldering Accessories category to find the one that best suits your common soldering needs.
