![]() |

A Versatile Hot Air Tool for SMT Soldering and De-soldering
The Metcal HCT-900 Hand Held Convection Tool offers a low cost versatile rework solution for a wide variety of production and rework application challenges.
• Closed-loop thermocouple feedback control delivers repeatable heating based on the setting programmed regardless of airflow control.
• Settings can be replicated for applications.
• Unique low noise air pump design delivers precise airflow control for the most demanding applications.
• Power off cool down functions retains airflow while unit powers down for safe operation.
• Analogue controls for heat and airflow (individually adjustable).

Applications:
• SMT removal for QFP’s, PLCC’s, SOP’s & TSOP devices
• Convection soldering of packages to PCB
• Heating & reflow for rework touch up
• Heat shrink & other local heating applications
