Adafruit ADA-421 Fine Tip Straight Tweezers ESD Safe 135mm

SKU CH-5VHF-3AYGD

Fine-tip straight tweezers for placing SMD components, 135 mm long with a 12.5 mm tip gap, anti-static, anti-magnetic stainless steel

  • Product typePrototyping Products
  • ESD-safe tips protect sensitive components during handling
  • Anti-magnetic stainless steel avoids interference with delicate parts
  • Fine pointed tips grip tiny SMD components precisely
  • 135 mm length gives comfortable reach for detailed work
  • 5 mm tip gap accommodates larger TQFP and SSOP packages

Precision SMD Tweezers for Prototyping

These 135mm straight tweezers are designed for handling surface-mount components during prototyping and soldering work. The fine pointed tips suit a wide range of part sizes from tiny passives to larger TQFP and SSOP packages. Anti-static and anti-magnetic properties protect sensitive electronic devices during placement.

Hard Stainless Steel Build with ESD Protection

Hard stainless steel construction resists deformation while maintaining precise tip alignment for repeatable placement. The ESD-safe coating prevents static discharge damage when handling CMOS devices or other static-sensitive parts. Anti-magnetic material avoids interference with magnetic components or sensitive measurement equipment nearby.

12.5mm Tip Gap for Versatile Component Handling

The 12.5mm open tip gap accommodates fairly large integrated circuit packages for steady positioning during soldering. Fine tips enable pickup of the smallest chip components without slipping or damage. This single tool covers diverse prototyping tasks from dense PCB assembly to rework operations.

Questions about this item

What tip gap does the 135 mm tweezer open to for placing larger SMD packages?

The tips open to a 12.5 mm gap, roughly half an inch, which lets you grip TQFP and SSOP parts for steady placement during soldering.

Are the tweezers made of a material that resists magnetism and static?

Yes, they are hard stainless steel with anti-magnetic and anti-static properties built in for safe handling of sensitive components.

How should the tweezers be held to avoid bending the fine tips?

Apply pressure near the middle of the arms rather than at the very ends; squeezing the tips directly can deform the fine points over time.
