I have recently obtained a used Weller WECP Temtronic soldering iron. This unit can be set to a wide range of temperatures by adjusting a pot on the front panel, rather than by changing the bit as in the older TCP range that I have used for more than 50 years. I would like to obtain another, larger chisel bit for the WECP, for heavier work.

The heating element on the iron is identified as an ECP. I am having trouble specifying the bit type as my searches for ECP tips do not come up with bits (tips) that look correct.

I have attached photos of the base unit, label and the iron, bit and holder. I wonder if anyone recognises it and has the correct information to specify the bit type.

Thanks

Ron
