Rework tip quad for PLCC 52, 412 °C, SMTC series - Metcal SMTC-117

When a PLCC 52 comes off the board, every lead row has to reflow at the same moment, otherwise pads lift. The SMTC-117 rework tip of the SMTC series sits over the component as a closed square and delivers 412 °C to all four sides at once.

Benefits

• Square geometry matched to the lead pattern of PLCC 52
• Fixed tip temperature of 412 °C with no calibration, set by the cartridge itself
• Fast heat-up and quick thermal recovery in the Metcal MX system
• Works with the MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E handpieces
• Cartridge can be swapped during work, sold per piece

Applications

Rework and repair of surface-mounted components in electronics manufacturing, test labs and service workshops. The typical job is replacing a faulty PLCC package with 52 J-leads on a populated assembly without heating the neighbouring parts longer than needed.

Compatibility and scope of delivery

The tip runs with the Metcal MX-H1-AVA and MX-RM3E handpieces on MX series power units. Delivery covers one SMTC-117 rework tip, handpiece and power unit are not included.
