Product Information
Full details
The Antex 1.0mm replacement soldering iron tip (MPN 1106) is an essential component for hobbyists and professionals using Antex CS18, TC50, TCS, or SD50 soldering stations. Engineered with a copper core and nickel-plated finish, this tip provides excellent heat conductivity and durability for precision electronic work. While it excels at lead-free soldering, users should remember that maintaining proper tip hygiene is critical to prevent oxidation and ensure the longevity of the plating.

FAQs
Is this tip suitable for lead-based solder?
Yes, while it is optimized for lead-free solder, it works perfectly with traditional lead-based solder as well.
How often should I replace the 1106 tip?
Replacement frequency depends on usage hours and temperature. If you notice pits or the tip no longer holds solder even after cleaning, it is time for a replacement.
Can I use this on a non-Antex soldering iron?
No, this tip is designed specifically for the Antex models CS18, TC50, TCS, and SD50.
Why is the tip nickel-plated?
The nickel plating prevents the copper core from eroding when exposed to solder and high heat, significantly extending the life of the tip.
What is the best way to clean the tip?
Use a soft damp sponge or a brass wire tip cleaner while the iron is hot. Avoid harsh mechanical scrubbing.
Troubleshooting
Tip is not heating up
Ensure the tip is pushed fully into the iron barrel and the securing nut is tightened to ensure good contact.
Solder is not sticking to the tip
The tip may be oxidized. Use a high-quality tip tinner/cleaner and ensure the tip temperature is within the appropriate range.
Tip is stuck in the iron
Allow the iron to reach operating temperature briefly to expand the metal, then carefully attempt to remove the tip with pliers.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the 1106 tip, ensure your Antex iron is completely cold and unplugged. Unscrew the barrel or securing nut of your handle (CS18, TC50, TCS, or SD50), remove the old tip, and slide the new 1.0mm tip into position. Secure it firmly before reheating.
Compatibility includes:
- Antex CS18
- Antex TC50
- Antex TCS
- Antex SD50
Care instructions:
- Use a damp sponge or brass wire cleaner periodically to remove flux residue.
- Never use sandpaper or files to clean the tip, as this will destroy the nickel plating.
- Store the tip with a thin layer of solder covering it to prevent rust and oxidation.
