Our Cordless Soldering Tips
Our cordless soldering tips are available in three different styles: Long-life, High-Efficiency and Standard. Each cordless soldering iron tip works on all of our battery powered cordless soldering irons.
Selecting the Correct Tips for You
Our Isolated Tip design gives you the high temp you need quickly at the push of a button anyplace. You might find yourself done with the job while other irons are still heating up. Now what is it that we mean by isolated tip? Our high-quality Isolated soldering tips are comprised of nine different parts where as others are just one solid piece of metal. Our cordless soldering iron tip products have an isolated heating coil and what that allows us to do is isolate the current preventing it from leaking out of the tip of the soldering iron causing damage to sensitive electronic circuitry.
If you are using our Iso-Tip cordless soldering irons, you can use any tips from the high efficiency, long life, and standard families. We thought we’d make it easy, make them universal. There are 14 different styles of tips, and if you’ve never looked check out our complete catalog here.
Each cordless soldering iron tip is different here at Iso-Tip. We take pride in having a large variety of different tips to fit all your soldering needs. Below is a complete break down of the 3 types of tips we offer for our cordless soldering irons.
Long Life Cordless Soldering Iron Tips
The long-life tips are iron-nickel-plated to withstand longer periods of soldering time. There is a three-step process that our Long-Life Tips go through to provide maximum life for extended usages
- The copper shell is iron plated to resist erosion
- Nickel and Chromium plated to resist corrosion
- Tinned to provide efficient heat transfer
We recommend our Long-Life Tips for someone who is soldering multiple connections. Our Long-Life Tips provide users 20 percent more soldering time than our Standard Tips, and they heat up to 900°F in less than ten seconds. We offer two different Long-Life Tips for your soldering needs:
- Micro Fine Tip
- Fine Tip
- Ultra Fine Tip
High-Efficiency Cordless Soldering Iron Tips
Our high-efficiency tips heat up faster while using less battery power to do so, which allows them to provide 20 percent more soldering time than our standard tips.

Solder Tip Preventative Care
Here at Iso-Tip, we know that our customers want a product that will last. That’s why we believe in selling you good quality soldering irons and tips. However, even the best of equipment won’t last if not properly cared for. To ensure your Iso-Tip products last as long as possible, we recommend keeping the following points about solder tip preventative care in mind.
Use High Quality Solder
The quality of solder you use has a huge impact on the lifespan of your solder tips. Low quality solder tends to have impurities, which build up on the tip and interfere with heat transfer. Obviously, a tip that isn’t able to transfer heat properly won’t work effectively. It may be tempting to go for the cheaper option when choosing solder, but the decreased lifespan of the tip ultimately makes a higher quality solder the more cost effective option.
Cleaning Your Solder Tips
We recommend that you clean your tips before and after use to ensure they work properly. Wiping the tip with a brass sponge or steel wool is your best bet to remove any particles or rust that may have built up. You can also use a wet cellulose sponge. Avoid using sandpaper, as it’s abrasiveness can scratch the tips.
Tinning To Prevent Oxidation
Another way to protect your tips is to cover them in a thin layer of solder, also know as “tinning”. After you clean your tip, briefly touch the tip and the solder, covering the tip in a thin layer of solder. Tinning helps protect tips from oxidation by acting as a barrier between the tips and the air.
Storing Your Solder Tips
Whether soldering is a job or a hobby, sometimes we have to take a break from using our soldering irons for a while. When this happens, it’s important to properly store your tips. After making sure the tips are clean and tinned, store them in sealed container, as this will help prevent oxidation. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just a simple plastic container with a lid should do the trick.
