Which tip fits my station?

Type your model number — it is printed on the front panel of the station or moulded into the handle grip. Every row here is backed by the factory or the station's own documentation.

Reading a tip code

What the letter on the end means

An ATTEN code is series – size – shape. In T900-2.4D: T900 is the fitting standard, 2.4 is the width of the working face in millimetres, and D is the shape.

I Needle

A very fine conical point. Fine-pitch SMD, 0402 and smaller, and touching up a single pad.

B Conical

Round and pointed. The general-purpose shape for through-hole work and medium SMD joints.

D Chisel

A flat screwdriver face. The most versatile shape — the best heat transfer per millimetre of contact.

C Bevel / hoof

A cylinder cut at an angle. Holds a bead of solder, so it is the shape for drag soldering and larger pads.

K Knife

A blade edge. Made for dragging along a row of pins and for clearing solder bridges.

Prefixes and suffixes
SShort — shorter reach and a stiffer tip, so heat recovers fasterLLong — extra reach for recessed joints and crowded boardsLFLead-free — coating and thermal mass sized for the higher temperatures lead-free alloys need
Choosing a size

Bigger is usually better

The instinct with fine work is to reach for the finest tip. It is usually the wrong call: a needle has almost no thermal mass, so it cools the moment it touches a pad and you end up leaning on the joint for seconds, which is what actually lifts pads and cooks components.

Pick the largest tip that still fits the joint. A 2.4 mm chisel will solder 0.5 mm-pitch QFP pins far more happily than a 0.5 mm needle, because it carries enough heat to make the joint in under a second.

Fine-pitch SMD & drag soldering

A knife (K) or a 1.6–2.4 mm chisel. Flood the pins with flux and drag — do not try to do them one at a time with a needle.

0402 / 0201 and single pads

This is where a needle (I) or a small bevel (C) earns its place — when the neighbouring parts genuinely leave no room.

Through-hole and connectors

A 2.4–3.2 mm chisel (D) covers almost all of it. Conical (B) if you need to get down into a crowded header.

Ground planes, shields, thick wire

4.6 mm and up, and a station with the wattage behind it. Heat has to arrive faster than the copper carries it away.

Getting your money's worth

Why tips die, and how to stop it

A soldering tip is iron-plated copper. Nothing wears it out faster than heat with no solder on it — so most of tip life is really a habit problem.

Turn the heat down

Work at the lowest temperature that still wets the joint. Every extra 50 °C roughly halves the life of the iron plating.

Never park it dry

Leave a bead of solder on the tip whenever it goes back in the stand. A bare hot tip oxidises in seconds and then stops taking solder.

Brass, not a wet sponge

Brass wool cleans without thermal-shocking the plating. A wet sponge drops the tip 100 °C every wipe and cracks the coating over time.

Don't file it

Filing or sanding a dewetted tip removes the iron plating and exposes the copper underneath. Once that happens the tip dissolves into the solder.

While you are here

Handles, tweezers and cleaners

A tip that will not wet is often a tired handle or a dirty tip rather than a worn face.

Not sure which tip fits your iron?

Send us the model number of your station or handle — it is printed on the front panel or moulded into the grip — and we will tell you which series to order. It takes us a minute and saves you a return.

How do I find out which tip fits my ATTEN station?

Use the table at the top of this page — it lists every station and iron we sell against the tip series it takes. If your model is not there, mail info@atten.eu with the model number from the front panel and we will confirm it.

What is the difference between a loose tip and an integrated-heater cartridge?

A loose tip (T900, T800, T300, T500, T2080, T2150) slides over a separate heating element, so a worn tip costs a few euro. An integrated cartridge (T9150, T10, GT-Y, T9100) has the heater and the sensor built in behind the face — it costs more, but the sensor sits at the joint, which is why those stations recover faster and hold temperature better.

What do the letters at the end of a tip code mean?

They are the shape: B is conical, I is a fine needle, C is a bevel or hoof, D is a chisel, K is a knife. An S or L in front means short or long, and LF means the tip is built for lead-free temperatures.

Which size should I choose?

The largest that still fits the joint. A larger face carries more heat, so the joint is made quickly instead of you holding the iron on it — which is what actually damages pads and parts.

Are these original ATTEN tips?

Yes. Every tip on this page is an original ATTEN part, bought through the factory's distribution channel, not a compatible copy.

Do tips fall under the warranty?

No — tips, nozzles, heating elements and filters are wear parts, so they sit outside the two-year warranty on the stations themselves.
