The standard tip that normally comes with the iron works well for most things. You may need a smaller tip also for SMD work.

I like the small screwdriver tips.

The conical-pointy ones are ok, but they are more suitable for very small components.

Screwdriver style ones are good for PCBs and for hard-wriring (jack sockets, switches, etc.).

I would go for about 3-5mm width, but that is my preference.

I know, but I guess the datasheet for the iron will tell you what the standard type is. It's marked "7" if that's a help.

I got no datasheet so I think i will call RS tommorow and hear. I can see that the have Weller her in DK....

The 7 stamped on the end indicates the temperature- 700 degrees F. I prefer a screwdriver or chisel tip (PTM7) because the more iron surface in contact with the piece being soldered, the faster it comes up to soldering temperature. This prevents overheating components.

I have an extra weller tip - I do not have a weller iron - its unused, I ordered it by accident. If I can find it I can send it out to you for just the cost of postage. If you are interested that is.

That will be great... :grin:

If you find it write me an email.

heh, just realized where you are living, and that shipping from NYC to Denmark might be a little insane. Its probably cheaper to just add the tip onto your next electronics parts order.

The mail-order shop "Aarhus Radiolager" in Denmark - tel 86246422 - can sell you ANY spare part for your Weller - naturally including all sorts of tips. Go for a #7, small "screw-driver" shape.
