Vetus ST-150X-1 X-Type Electronics Tweezers for Small Electronic Components

Vetus ST-150X-1 X-type tweezers are normally closed and open when pressure is applied, allowing small parts to be held effortlessly while maintaining position, similar to a 'third hand'. This reduces fatigue in delicate tasks compared with conventional tweezers, which require continuous pressure to keep hold of the part.

These tweezers are approximately 150 mm long, usually weigh between 25 and 30 g, and are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, suitable for laboratory and electronics work environments.

Stainless steel minimises the risk of oxidation, although very humid environments should be avoided. They are not magnetised from the factory, but prolonged exposure to magnetic fields may induce slight magnetisation. Cleaning and drying after use extends service life.

Yes, the precision of the ST-150X-1 tips allows very small SMD components (below 1 mm) to be handled. However, only the necessary pressure should be applied so as not to fracture or displace sensitive parts; the low opening force helps prevent accidental damage.

The Vetus ST-150X-1 does not have an anti-static coating (ESD-safe), which may pose a discharge risk in environments with sensitive components. ESD-safe tweezers include special coatings or are made from dissipative materials, making them preferable on assembly lines or in laboratories with anti-static controls.

They are used to hold and handle small electronic components during soldering and assembly tasks, helping with precision and control.

It means the tweezers are normally closed and open when pressed, allowing parts to be held without constant effort.

Yes, they are compatible and very useful as an accessory for soldering stations and other electronic equipment for precision work.

Yes, they are specially designed to handle small and delicate components in electronics.
