0.5mm Solder Tip for the ZD99 Solder Station

As many of you avid Makers will know, Soldering is not quite as easy as the professionals make it out to be, and there are actually many little nuances that can greatly affect the difficulty and end-results of the soldering process, with one of the most important (yet often overlooked) of these being the size of your solder tips.

These 0.5mm Solder Tips are made specifically to fit the ZD99 Solder Station, but compared to many of the standard sizes ranging from 1mm to 2mm in tip diameter, these tiny tips are meant for high-precision work with very tiny Components. This is because the tiny 0.5mm tip is capable of fitting in between very dense circuit layouts without spreading the heat to unnecessary parts on the board. However, it’s important to note that these tips will really struggle to spread enough heat to loosen or affix larger components, in which case you will need to switch to a larger tip so as to make the process easier and much faster.

These 0.5mm tips are some of the smallest tips available for hobbyists, and are primarily meant for soldering work in which no other tips will fit between the components. However, if you’re looking for a larger 3mm Solder Tip for jobs with large components and lots of extra space, or if you’re looking for the somewhat standardised 1.5mm Solder Tips for general purpose projects with moderate space and typical components, then be sure to take a look through our Soldering Irons Category to see just what we have in stock for you.
