Reliable Tips for GOOT PX‑338/335/342/242/238/201 Stations
Engineered for GOOT PX‑338, PX‑335, PX‑342, PX‑242, PX‑238, and PX‑201 soldering stations, these PS series tips deliver consistent heat transfer and dependable performance for a wide range of soldering applications. Designed for consumer electronics repair, vocational training, and small‑to‑medium batch rework, they offer precision and durability in a balanced 52mm profile.
Material & Plating
Each tip features a C10200 oxygen‑free copper core (oxygen content ≤ 0.001%) with electrical conductivity ≥ 98% and thermal conductivity of approximately 380–400 W/(m·K). Formed by precision automatic CNC machining in a single operation, ensuring accurate dimensions and consistent quality.
The 72‑hour multi‑layer alloy electroplating process applies four functional layers:
Iron layer (9 A/dm²): Dense crystalline structure for superior corrosion and wear resistance. Vickers hardness (HV) is controlled within 400–550 – above 600 may cause brittleness, below 350 results in insufficient wear resistance.
Nickel layer (4 A/dm², 6 μm): Prevents rust and protects the copper base.
Hard chromium layer (20 A/dm²): Prevents solder creep and maximises oxidation resistance.
Tin layer (12 μm): Pre‑applied to the front working end for immediate wettability.
Performance & Compatibility
Long Service Life: Delivers 20,000–35,000 solder joints under standard conditions (350–400°C, proper maintenance). Actual lifespan depends on temperature, flux activity, solder alloy, and handling technique.
Cost‑Effective: Offers 35–50% savings compared to genuine GOOT PS tips, with consistent quality across all batches.
Precision Fit: Total length 52 mm – balanced reach for both through‑hole and SMT work.
Applications
Suitable for consumer electronics repair, PCB assembly and rework, prototyping, technical training, and fine soldering of small components. Supports both lead‑free (SAC305) and leaded soldering processes.
Maintenance & Replacement
To extend tip life:
Clean with a damp sponge or brass wire ball during use.
Apply a solder "tin cap" before powering off.
Use recommended temperatures: 350°C ± 10°C for lead‑free, 320°C ± 10°C for leaded solder.
Never use files or abrasives – these damage the plating.
Replace immediately if you observe:
Pits or holes on the working surface
Solder creeping up the barrel
Significant loss of heating efficiency
Permanent blackening that rejects solder

What materials are used in these PX series soldering tips?
We use high-purity copper cores for fast heat transfer, with a multi-layer plating system: iron (wear resistance), nickel (corrosion protection), and chrome (oxidation and tin creep prevention).
Do you offer custom PX tip shapes, lengths, or plating specifications?
Yes. As a custom soldering tip manufacturer, we can modify tip geometry (chisel, conical, bent, knife, hoof), total length (outside the standard 52mm), or adjust plating thickness for aggressive flux or high-temperature lead-free soldering. 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 GOOT stations are compatible?
Total length: 52mm. Our PX series soldering tip is compatible with GOOT soldering stations that accept original PX series cartridges. Common compatible models include the GOOT PX-201, PX-238, and PX-242. Confirm your station’s heater type and tip series before ordering – contact us for compatibility verification.
How does quality and service life compare to original GOOT PX tips?
Under identical soldering conditions (330-380°C, continuous use with proper maintenance), our copper core and multi-layer plating deliver comparable quality and service life – typically 12,000 to 20,000 solder joints depending on tip shape, solder alloy, and flux chemistry. The copper core provides excellent thermal response. We recommend a side-by-side trial on your bench to verify performance.
How should we maintain these PX tips for maximum life?
Keep the tip tinned when the iron is idle (use station sleep or auto-off if available)
Clean with brass wire or a damp sponge – avoid abrasive files or tip cleaners
Use the lowest effective temperature for your solder alloy (reduce oxidation)
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 high-volume repair centers, schedule weekly tip inspections
We supply detailed maintenance guides with bulk orders. For GOOT PX stations, proper tip tinning before first use is essential to activate the plating for optimal solder flow.
