I'd recommend a fine point "pencil" tip.

My iron came with a pretty small "screwdriver" tip, which works fine (and great for making cables and bigger things), but I just bought a pointed (conical) one, since I think it'll work a bit better on PCBs.

As long as it's pretty small, it'll do fine.

Not sure what type of iron you have or even if you are in the US, but I highly recommend buying tips from Dale Pro Audio. I just got a new Weller iron and the tip was too big for pedal stuff, and I couldn't find a new tip for less than $6 plus shipping. I finally found a new fine point Weller tip at Dale for $3.44 with free shipping.

no where near the u.s of a unfortunatly

3.44 is a steal though everythings cheaper over there makes me jelly

just gonna roam the electronic stores for them round my area
