Tweezers Tips - Precise Measurements

There are many different types of tweezers tips used in the electronics industry . You'll often see terms like "fine," "super fine," or "ultra fine," but how do we determine what "fine" means for these tweezer tips?

To answer this question, we need to look at the CTM specifications.

CTM stands for Precision Tip Measurement and is used to describe the size of the tips on a pair of tweezers. CTM is equal to the height and width of one of the tips of the tweezers.

Take 5-SA-ET from Excelta as an example. Its CTM is equal to 0.0024" x 0.0039" (0.06 mm x 0.1 mm ), which is included in its data sheet (shown below).
