Product Description

Material & Engineering Design
Each DS/DCS/DCN series soldering tip is machined from high-quality copper for superior thermal conductivity – ensuring rapid heat transfer from the Apollo station’s heater to the solder joint. The tip then receives a multi-layer plating system designed for durability in automated environments: an iron plating layer that enhances corrosion resistance and surface hardness, extending tip life under continuous operation; a nickel plating layer that provides robust corrosion prevention; and an outer chrome plating layer that prevents tin crawling (migration of solder up the barrel). The total length is precisely 104mm – ideal for reaching components on dense or recessed PCB assemblies.

Application Scenarios on Your Automated Production Floor
These DS/DCS/DCN tips are designed for Apollo automatic soldering machines used in:
High-volume PCB assembly (consumer electronics, automotive modules, industrial controls)

Deep-access soldering on multi-layer boards where standard-length tips cannot reach

Selective soldering processes for through-hole components and connectors

Automotive electronics manufacturing requiring repeatable joint quality

Contract manufacturing (EMS) seeking reliable, cost-effective consumables for Apollo robots
The 104mm length allows the robotic arm to access solder joints that are far from the board edge, while the chrome plating ensures the tip barrel remains free of tin crawling – a common issue that can interfere with automatic tip changers and robotic positioning.


Product Value for Your Business (Cost, Consistency, Customization)
As a direct soldering tip manufacturer, we deliver three measurable advantages for your Apollo automated production lines:

Lower consumable cost: Factory-direct pricing eliminates branded markups. Typical savings of 30–50% compared to original Apollo DS/DCS/DCN tips. For multiple robots running 24/7, this adds significant annual savings.

Batch-to-batch consistency: Every production lot uses identical copper purity, multi-layer plating thickness (iron, nickel, chrome), and strict dimensional tolerances (±0.05mm). No unexpected thermal drift, poor wetting, or early tip failure that disrupts automated soldering programs.

Customization without proprietary constraints: Need a modified tip shape for a specific component, a different length, or a specialized plating for aggressive flux? We produce custom universal Apollo soldering tips based on your drawings. Minimum order quantities apply.


For procurement and automation engineering teams, this means predictable quality, lower total cost of ownership, and a reliable second source for mission-critical consumables.

FAQ 

What materials and plating are used in these Apollo compatible soldering tips?
We use high-quality copper cores with a multi-layer system: iron plating (enhances corrosion resistance and hardness), nickel plating (corrosion prevention), and chrome plating (prevents tin crawling). This combination is specifically engineered for continuous automated soldering.

Do you offer custom DS/DCS/DCN tip shapes, lengths, or plating specifications?
Yes. As a custom soldering tip manufacturer, we can modify tip geometry (chisel, conical, knife, offset), total length (outside 104mm), or plating thickness for aggressive flux or high-temperature applications. Provide a drawing, original sample, or intended application – our engineering team will advise. Custom orders require minimum quantity – contact our sales team.

What is the exact length? Which Apollo machines are compatible?
Total length: 104mm. Our DS/DCS/DCN series soldering tip is compatible with Apollo automatic soldering machines that accept original DS, DCS, or DCN series cartridges. Confirm your machine’s heater bore and tip series before ordering. Contact us for compatibility verification.

How does service life compare to original Apollo DS/DCS/DCN tips?
Under identical automated soldering conditions (350°C, continuous operation, proper tinning cycles), our multi-layer plated copper tips deliver comparable or longer life – typically 20,000 to 30,000 solder joints depending on tip shape, solder alloy, and flux chemistry. The iron plating provides enhanced hardness for wear resistance. We recommend a side-by-side trial on your automated line to verify performance.

How should we maintain these tips on Apollo automatic soldering machines?

Program automatic tip tinning cycles during idle periods (e.g., every 30-60 minutes)

Use automatic tip cleaners (brass wire or ceramic sponge) as part of your robot's routine

Avoid aggressive halide fluxes – they accelerate plating wear

Replace immediately if the tip becomes pitted, deformed, or cannot wet properly

Store unused tips in a dry, anti-static container to prevent oxidation

For 104mm long tips, handle with care to avoid bending – use proper storage racks

For 24/7 operations, schedule weekly tip inspections and replace in sets to maintain consistent joint quality


We supply detailed maintenance guides and recommended robot parameters with bulk orders. For high-volume EMS customers running Apollo machines, we also offer just-in-time delivery programs and custom packaging for automatic tip changers.
