SMD rework soldering tip for PLCC-20, SMTC series 412 °C - Metcal SMTC-1144

For melting all four lead rows of a PLCC-20 at once and removing the part without canting you need a cartridge with the right geometry. The SMD rework soldering tip SMTC-1144 of the SMTC series provides that shape and works at a fixed tip temperature of 412 °C on the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces.

Benefits

• Geometry matched precisely to the PLCC-20 package
• Fixed tip temperature of 412 °C with no calibration and no temperature dial
• Heater and sensor sit inside the tip, giving a short heat-up time and fast recovery
• Tool-free cartridge change in the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces
• Dimension A = 9.14 mm
• Dimension B = 9.14 mm
• Dimension D = 2.91 mm
• Integrated heater inside the cartridge

Technical data

Applications

Replacement of PLCC devices on control and memory boards, repair of socketed placements, rework during prototyping.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The cartridge works with the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E hand pieces and therefore with the power units of the Metcal MX series. It is changed without tools during operation and needs no temperature adjustment, because the tip holds its 412 °C working point on its own. Scope of delivery: one rework cartridge SMTC-1144. The cartridge itself is not declared as an ESD safe item, dissipation is provided by the hand piece and the power unit.
