Mechanic ST-15 Hight Precisoin M-Level Smd Tweezer
The Mechanic ST-15 High Precision SMD Tweezer is a pair of high-precision, curved-tip stainless steel tweezers designed for intricate electronic repair, specifically for handling small and dense components like SMD (Surface Mount Device) parts and integrated circuit pins. The "M level" designation refers to its use in mobile phone and general digital device maintenance.
Key Features and Specifications
- Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel (often specified as 304 stainless steel), the tweezers are processed by heat treatment and hardening to achieve a hardness of up to 40 HRC.
- Properties: They are anti-magnetic, anti-acid, and non-corrosive, making them suitable for use with various chemicals encountered during maintenance, such as washing water and rosin.
- Tip Design: The ST-15 features a curved (eagle-beak), extra-fine tip that is highly matched and can clamp objects with zero clearance, even fine 0.007mm jump wires, ensuring high precision and stability.
- Applications: It is an essential tool for circuit board maintenance, digital maintenance, positioning tin-planting stencils, and operating precisely in tight spaces.
- Ergonomics: The design is described as having a better grip feeling, often with a non-slip surface, for comfortable and extended use.
Technical Specifications
ST-15 is built to withstand professional repair environments with the following technical features:
- Material: Made from stainless steel forging with hand-polished, refined tips.
- Hardness: Features high elasticity and a hardness of approximately 40 HRC, which prevents the tips from deforming during heavy-duty performance.
- Resistances: The tool is anti-acid, non-corrosive, and rust-proof, making it safe to use with maintenance chemicals like rosin or washing water.
- Magnetic Properties: It uses anti-magnetic (or weak-magnetic) material to avoid sticking to small electronic parts, which improves work efficiency.
- Design: Typically around 115mm to 120mm in length, often featuring a curved or "eagle beak" tip for better maneuverability in compact areas.
