Rework small boards directly on the PCT-100
This pre-heater targets heat for improved
speed and efficiency for high thermal
demand applications, including lead-free.
Used for SMT and through-hole hand
processes, the PCT-100
uses convection air heating to heat a
PCB rst, for better soldering, improved
process control and increased produc-
tivity.
The PCT-100 Pre-heater Convection
Tool adds heat volume, without turning
up the temperature, to perform assem-
bly tasks at the appropriate peak tem-
perature without distorting the board.
Ideal for thick boards and smaller
boards, such as cell phone and PDAs,
the pre-heater focuses and delivers hot
air where you need it. When nished,
the fan continues without heat to cool down
the board.
The system is easy-to-use. Simply plug
it in, turn it on, adjust the heat and it’s
ready for work.
Accessories add to ease-of-use
The PCT-100 can be used with or with-
out a board holder. An Arm Rest is also
available to steady your hand and keep
your arm from being fatigued. The board
holder and arm rest are available as a
complete kit, with the PCT-100, or they
can be purchased separately.
