Weller Soldering Iron Tip, Screwdriver, 2.4 mm, 425°C for W61, CT5 Series CT5B8

The Weller CT5B8 Soldering Iron Tip is engineered for demanding professional soldering applications, delivering precise and efficient heat transfer required for high-quality electronic assembly and repair work. Featuring a 2.4 mm screwdriver-shaped working end, this tip is ideal for creating clean, broad solder joints on larger components, multi-lead connectors, and strap solder points.

This replacement tip fits the Weller W61 soldering iron handle and is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability under continuous high-temperature operation. Rated up to 425°C, the CT5B8 maintains consistent thermal performance, minimizing thermal drift and supporting extended soldering sessions without degradation in performance or increased maintenance needs.

The screwdriver profile of the CT5B8 maximizes contact area, which helps deliver even heat distribution across the solder joint. This design supports reliable solder flow, reduces cold joints, and optimizes work on connectors and larger pads, making it a dependable choice for electronics repairs, rework, or assembly environments.

Maintenance of the tip is straightforward. Regular tinning after cleaning, avoiding prolonged overheating, and using compatible tip tinners will keep the tip in excellent working order and extend its operational life. The highly durable plating on the CT5B8 resists oxidation and corrosion, even after multiple soldering sessions and rapid heat cycling.

The CT5B8 is particularly well-suited for professional applications such as PCB soldering and repair, component reflow, and assembly line work in the electronics manufacturing industry. It is an essential consumable for production environments, repair benches, and technical laboratories that rely on precise and repeatable soldering results.

Typical use cases include industrial electronics manufacturing, laboratory repair benches, advanced hobby assembly, component-level rework, prototyping facilities, and maintenance of critical instrumentation. The Weller CT5B8 offers a blend of compatibility, resilience, and high-temperature capability required in these demanding settings.

For those seeking additional soldering iron tips within the same family for different requirements, Weller’s CT5 series includes a variety of shapes and temperature ratings, ensuring the right tool is available for every type of soldering task.
