IR Preheater 5400 W for PCBs up to 51 x 61 cm, 230 V, with PCB Holder - JBC PHXLE-2KA

The JBC PHXLE-2KA is a high-power infrared preheater for the even warming of very large printed circuit boards, such as communications, aerospace and industrial electronics. Preheating reduces thermal stress when soldering and desoldering large assemblies and enables repeatable, reliable rework.

Benefits

• 5400 W peak power for fast, uniform heating of large assemblies.
• Heating area up to 510 x 610 mm with six independently switchable zones, so heat is applied only where it is needed.
• Up to eight Type K thermocouples and 22 user profiles (up to 16 steps each) for reproducible temperature control.
• Supplied with the PHXL-SA PCB holder with three height positions for secure clamping of boards of different sizes.
