About the STTC-836 Soldering Equipment
The METCAL STTC-836 is a soldering tip cartridge for Metcal SmartHeat soldering and rework stations — the STTC range is the standard cartridge family for the Metcal MX-500, MX-5000 and MX-5200 series systems. Each STTC cartridge integrates the tip and heater into a single replaceable unit, and Metcal’s SmartHeat technology self-regulates power delivery at the joint without operator temperature adjustment or calibration. Within the range, STTC-8xx part numbers form the 800 series, running nominally at 450 °C — the series Metcal recommends for high temperature and thermally demanding work, which matches this cartridge’s stated purpose for ceramic and high thermal demand applications. The tip geometry given in the product designation is a chisel form with a 30° face and a 2.5 mm tip size, a profile used for drag soldering and for joints that benefit from a broad contact face and strong heat transfer. The cartridges can be used with leaded and lead-free solder.

Typical applications
STTC cartridges are bench consumables in electronics manufacturing and repair: avionics and UAV electronics assembly, cable and connector soldering, and MRO rework stations. High-thermal-demand geometries are typically reserved for ground planes, ceramic substrates and heavy joints that starve lower-powered tips of heat.
