## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TPH-DA-52:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TPH-DA-52:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Engineer DA-52 dual-tip ceramic PCB alignment tool revolutionises the precision adjustment of electronic circuit components. This professional-grade tool features non-conductive zirconia ceramic tips specifically engineered for accurate trimming and adjustment of variable components on PCB circuits.

Key Features- Dual ceramic tips: 0.4mm x 1.3mm and 0.7mm x 2.5mm for versatile component adjustment
- Non-inductive and non-conductive zirconia ceramic construction
- Integrated hex shafts (2.0mm and 2.5mm across flats) for variable coil adjustment
- 4-in-1 design combining alignment and adjustment capabilities
- Ergonomic pen-style housing with protective caps and pocket clip
- ROHS compliant, Made in Japan

How to UseThe DA-52 excels in precision PCB adjustments through its dual-ended design:

- For fine adjustments: Utilise the 0.4mm x 1.3mm tip with its 2.0mm hex shaft for delicate trimming of small components
- For standard adjustments: Deploy the 0.7mm x 2.5mm tip with its 2.5mm hex shaft for general variable component tuning

For optimal results when working with surface-mount components, pair with [Adafruit Ceramic Tip Tweezers](https://core-electronics.com.au/ceramic-tip-tweezers.html) for stable component handling. Secure your PCB using a [SparkFun Stickvise PCB Vise](https://core-electronics.com.au/stickvise-pcb-vise-47670.html) to maintain steady positioning during adjustments.

What's in the Box- 1x Engineer DA-52 Ceramic Alignment Screwdriver with protective caps
