Soldering Station Tips

JBC precision and general-purpose cartridges

Find the cartridge family documented for your handle before comparing dimensions. The C210 and C245 catalogues include many working shapes, while C115 addresses nano tools with a separate fit.

What to check before buying

Start with the handle family

Use the JBC chart to distinguish T210 and T245, nano C105 and C115, AM120 or PA120 tweezers, and heavy-duty T470 tools. A fine point can have the same diameter in two families while using a different cartridge connection.

Choose a geometry for the footprint

The C210008 flat gives a defined line of contact on an exposed pad. The C210002 bends a fine point around an obstruction. For opposing rows, compare the footprint with a documented dual in-line cartridge rather than buying by pin count.

Questions about this tip family

Can I use the old C105 cartridge after a nano station upgrade?

Check the installed tool. JBC documents separate C105 and C115 families, and the station name can stay the same after a tool upgrade.

What does the longer C245862 change?

JBC lists it as 20 mm longer than the C245962 with the same nominal chisel dimensions. Select the long version when the shaft has to reach past an obstruction.
