PH 100 Low Profile Infrared PCB Preheater

PH 100 Low Profile Infrared PCB Preheater Description:

Rapid, Safe Soldering or Desoldering on High Mass, Heat-Sinking Assemblies

Do you repair thick multilayer printed circuit boards that are connected to metal ground planes? Avionics modules that are designed to dissipate heat? Heat-sinking pcb's and BTC (QFN's) utilizing lead-free alloys that seem to require a blow-torch to solder effectively? Then the PH 100 PCB Preheater is for you! The PACE PH 100 is a high powered (1600W), non-contact infrared (IR) underheating system with an ergonomic, low-profile design which permits operators to safely pre-heat PCB’s for fast, efficient soldering, rework or repair, even on the highest mass, thermally challenging, lead-free PCB’s.

Why Use Bottom-Side Preheat?

1. Promotes rapid solder reflow while preventing heat damage and thermal stress or shock 
2. Ensures homogenous temperatures across package/PCB
3. Decreases warping & maintains planarity of the rework site
4. Reduces top-side temperature and dwell-time requirements
5. Increases soldering iron tip-life by allowing lower tip temperatures

Advanced Features

• Magnetic PCB Holder: PH 100's Magnetic PCB Holder is easily adjusted to a variety of height/size combinations.
• Ergonomic and Low Profile: Sleek, incredibly low working height (2.4"/60mm) improves operator comfort and reduces fatigue, perfect for under a microscope.
• Four IR Emitters Provide 1600 Watts of Power: 4 Robust IR Heaters provide 1600W of power while glass-ceramic surface re-emits heat in uniform manner, providing fast and even preheating.
• Internal or External Closed-Loop Temperature Control: Closed-Loop control by either internal sensor or external thermocouples which precisely monitor and control temperature on the PCB top or bottom-side.
• Front & Back Heating Zones: Front and Back Heating Zone temperatures can be independently controlled, or turned off completely.
• No Irritating Visible Light Generated: Glass-ceramic surface efficiently transmits heat without emitting an annoying glow or irritating visible light as other IR systems do.
• Intuitive 3.5" Resistive Touch Screen Display: Provides easy adjustment of all operational, temperature and power settings - the operator can customize color scheme and button layout at will.
• Large 300mm x 300mm (11.8" x 11.8") Heating Area: PH 100's glass-ceramic heating surface accomodates large assemblies as well as small or irregularly shaped boards.
