      Soldering Tips for Mark V *
       
      • Type A - General-purpose 1/16 in (1.5 mm) screwdriver Order Code M5S-A
      • Type B - Miniature 1/16 in (1.5 mm) chisel Order Code M5S-B
      • Type C - Heavy duty 1/8 in (3 mm) screwdriver Order Code M5S-C
      • Type D - High-temperature 3/32 in (2.5 mm) chisel Order Code M5S-D

      * Types A, B, and C tips are pretinned, ironclad copper, overplated with nickel/chromium to retard oxidation. Type D is nickel-plated copper, particularly suited to high-temperature soldering.


  Mark VIII Soldering Unit    Specially designed for strain gage soldering, the Micro-Measurements Mark VIII Soldering Station continuously monitors and maintains the soldering tip temperature, greatly reducing the risk of damage to the gage tabs during the soldering operation. The front panel is conveniently marked to indicate the recommended temperature setting for the type of solder in use. Excellent thermal recovery characteristics of the soldering pencil ensure efficient soldering, in the laboratory or in the field.
 
The Mark VIII is compact, and the soldering pencil has a thin grip for easy use. The ceramic heating element and integral temperature sensor provide rapid heat-up, with minimum overshoot.
 
The complete soldering station includes the control unit, detachable soldering pencil, soldering pencil holder, and M8S-A and M8S-B soldering tips, one each.
