The Antex 6-NS is a Spade style Miniature Soldering Tip. The tip diameter (prior to plating) is 3/64" (.047"). Add approximately .010" to the tip diameter for the plating. The 6-NS is designed for the Model's M, C, and G Miniature Solder Irons. These tips are made from a special copper alloy. Giving them maximum strength at high temperatures and maximum heat conductivity for rapid heat up and recovery times. The 6-NS features a multilayer construction, they have an iron plating that protects the copper core of the tip from the tin in the solder and then the entire tip is nickel plated for easy wetting and a long shelf life.
All of the Miniature Soldering Tips easily slide-on over the heating element. There are no set screws to freeze or bind. To change tips, simply remove your old tip and slide the new one on.
