KATEX KT-3IN1 SILVER TIPS SOLDERING 936 SET

The KATEX KT-3IN1 Silver Tips Soldering 936 Set is the classic companion to the “Black” set. While the black tips prioritize anti-oxidation and long-term durability, these silver (nickel-plated) tips are known for their excellent tinning ability and immediate thermal responsiveness, making them a standard choice for general-purpose electronics repair.

Key Features and Specifications

• 3-in-1 Essential Geometries: This set typically includes the same high-utility shapes for 936 handles:

  • I-Type (Needle): Best for ultra-fine SMD work and jumper wires.

  • K-Type (Knife): The go-to for clearing bridges, drag soldering, and pad cleaning.

  • IS-Type (Curved): Designed for better visibility and access under a microscope.

• Silver (Nickel) Plating: These tips use a standard multi-layer plating (iron and nickel over a copper core). This finish makes it easier to maintain a shiny, tinned surface compared to black tips, which can sometimes be trickier to wet with solder initially.

• Thermal Mass: Constructed with a high-purity oxygen-free copper core, ensuring that heat travels quickly from the heating element to the joint.

Compatibility

These are standard 900M series tips, making them compatible with a wide range of rework stations:

• QUICK: 706W+, 936, 236

• HAKKO: 936, 937, 888D

• YIHUA / ATTEN / KADA: All standard 936/937-style digital and analog stations.
