Benchtop board heater designed to elevate the temperature of PCB assemblies so components can be soldered more easily, and with improved results. Useful on medium to high-mass board assemblies, which can heat sink a significant amount of energy from a soldering iron tip, or handheld hot air tool. Ideal when soldering lead-free assemblies. Operates in either Power Mode or T/C (thermocouple) Mode.

Power mode allows you to set the output of the unit manually and will output the set percentage of power regardless of the T/C actual value. Thermocouple not required, but may be used to monitor the actual board temperature.

T/C mode allows you to set the desired temperature (50-180°C/122-356°F) of the PCB for closed-loop control of the temperature. A Type-K thermocouple must be secured to the PCB and plugged into the unit's T/C jack. When running, the unit will apply 100% power until the board reaches 10°C below the set temperature. The unit will then start PID control to regulate the power output of the heater to hold the PCB at the set temperature.

Includes: Preheater; infrared heater lamp, 500W; Type K 36 Ga. thermocouple.
