Preheating set 800 W with multi-axis PCB holder for assemblies up to 130 x 130 mm - JBC PHSMK-2KA

Multilayer assemblies take damage during desoldering when only the joint sees heat and the rest of the board stays cold. The PHSMK-2KA set places a preheating plate with 800 W peak power and a 130 x 135 mm heating area under the board and holds it in any position on a multi-axis rotary holder.

Benefits in detail

• 800 W peak power and a control range of 50 to 250 °C bring the assembly up to temperature evenly before iron or hot air is applied.
• Two heating zones, either 65 x 135 mm with one zone or 130 x 135 mm with both, so only the area actually needed is heated.
• 22 user temperature profiles with up to 16 steps each plus three factory profiles, so repeat jobs run reproducibly.
• Four connections for type K thermocouples for control and protection, measurement happens on the assembly and not only on the plate.
• The PSS rotary holder takes boards up to 130 x 130 mm and swivels them into any working position, a board change takes seconds.
• USB-A for firmware, graphics and profiles, USB-B for PC communication, robot connection and remote control, plus an aux port and a pedal port for the P-005 pedal.

Applications

Rework and repair on small to medium multilayer assemblies, component exchange on SMD packages with large ground planes, prototype building, test and laboratory. Worth having wherever the same assembly is opened several times a day.
