Weller PU-1D / TCP-1 / PT-H6 parts info
Hello,
Just so you know, the tip number indicates temperature in Fahrenheit.
6=600, 7=700, 8=800. Many US suppliers such as Mouser.com and
Digikey.com stock parts for these older Weller products. I'd guess
someone like Farnell in the UK would as well. In general I use a 700
degree tip.

Hi All,
The tip has come though the barrel on my trusty Weller iron (I've had
and used it regularly since my days with British Telecom 40+ years
ago) and I think it's a function of wear on both.
So I'm looking for a new barrel and probably a new tip [1] but I just
wondered if anyone could confirm the part number for the barrel
please? I believe it's '0051031199' but I thought I'd check before
ordering.
And whilst I can find PT-H6 tips (on eBay etc), I wondered if anyone
knew of an alternative that might be better for slightly bigger jobs
and with 60/40 please?
Like, I believe the PT-H6 is a .8mm 'screwdriver' tip and 310 or 315
DegC?
I think the number on the end determines the temperature with:
6=310, 7=370, 8=425, 9=480 DegC so a 6 should be good for 60/40 with a
melting point of about 190 DegC?
I'm guessing the 'PT' is probably the series and the other letter
defines the shape and size of the tip so is there a nice chart
somewhere please?
Cheers, T i m
[1] I have several other irons, including a 250V temperature
controlled / (screwdriver) adjustable Weller (somewhere), a big Weller
(75W), an Iroda Pro-50K gas iron (very handy) and even a 'hot knife'
for cutting synthetic rope, however I was wondering if there was a
mode modern workhorse general purpose iron that could match the PU-1D
for reliability and spares access etc?
