Metcal PCT-102-11 Convection Pre-Heater with Arm Rest and Free Standing Board Holder

Metcal PCT-102-11 Convection Pre-Heater with Arm Rest and Free Standing Board Holder

The Metcal PCT-100 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 first, for better soldering, improved process control and increased productivity.

The PCT-100 Pre-heater Convection Tool adds heat volume, without turning up the temperature, to perform assembly tasks at the appropriate peak temperature 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 finished, 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 without 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.
