One handle - 4 versions - endless possibilities
Thanks to its short tip-to-grip distance and thermal foam grip, the T245 gives you better control, comfort and consistent results - even during long, detailed soldering jobs.
Pick one of the versatile T245 handles:
T245-A - general purpose handle
A reliable choice for both SMD soldering and jobs that demand more power – like ground plane soldering.
T245-P – blue-grip handle
Same as the T245-A, but with a blue grip for easy identification.
A smart option if you want to separate tools used for leaded and lead-free soldering at the workstation.
T245-G - reinforced cable handle
Designed for high-power tasks. The reinforced cable makes it suited for tougher environments, while the foam grip ensures comfort and thermal insulation.
T245-N – nitrogen handle
When used with nitrogen, this handle creates an inert atmosphere at the solder joint – reducing oxidation, improving wetting and enabling the use of milder flux.
Protects your tips - and the environment
JBC’s eco-friendly cartridge packaging is made from lightweight, recyclable cardboard - designed to reduce waste and take up less space in your storage.
Despite the lighter material, the packaging is durable and protective, keeping your JBC C245 tips safe until you're ready to use them.
The flat, neutral front design leaves room for key details like article number, measurements, and tip shape – so it’s easy to identify what’s inside at a glance.
- and with its quick-open design, it’s just as practical as it is planet-friendly
