Hot Air "Pencil" Said To Safely Solder/Desolder SMT Devices

Equipped with its own self-contained air supply and interchangeable nozzles, the SMT-1160 pencil-shaped tool is designed to safely solder and desolder temperature-sensitive SMT chips and other low thermal stress devices encountered in pc board rework and prototying activities. And to broaden the range of process variability and control available to users, the ESD-safe tool is designed with variable air flow and closed-loop temperature controls.The SMT-1160 hot-air pencil also can be used in combination with the firm's SA-750 hot plate to allow soldering on high thermal demand boards.
