10541 American Beauty Tweezer-Style Hand Tool

The American Beauty 10541 Tweezer-Style Hand Tool is designed to provide intense localized heat, to create accurate and trustworthy solder joints in regular, small or even fairly delicate soldering applications.

This hand tool is supplied with two 0.078" diameter copper-clad stainless steel electrodes. It features a 4' (1.22 m) 14-2 HPN neoprene cable with taper pin quick connect terminals for connection to American Beauty power units (push in, turning clockwise until snug). The 10541 hand tool is extremely lightweight (4 oz.) and has padded handles for operator comfort.

Resistance heat is obtained by passing a safe, low voltage, high amperage current through a resistive alloy. As with all Resistance Soldering Handpieces, heat is generated locally to the handpiece. Current is present for only so long as power is applied to the handpiece and there is a path for the current from the power unit, through the handpiece and back to the power unit.

The Model 10541 hand tool was developed for use on soldering applications, like small military connectors, wire terminations, through-hole PCB components, attaching connector pins to fiber optic leads, or other connections of a similar size. It is ideally suited for micro-miniature setups, wire processing and small components and connections. Fast, repetitive joint soldering on terminals, BNC connectors and similar-sized applications are easy with this hand tool and its resistance heat can be applied to prototyping, R and D and even to high volume production soldering applications. The 0.078" copper-clad stainless steel electrodes may be bent, shaped, or notched for special applications.
