Applications

• BGA Rework: Essential for preheating multi-layer laptop and mobile motherboards to prevent thermal shock.
• LED Repair: Perfect for desoldering LED beads from aluminum-core PCBs (MCPCBs) without damaging the delicate plastic housing.
• SMD Prototyping: Ideal for "skillet reflow" of surface-mount components for small-batch production.
• Industrial Heating: Used for curing adhesives or softening plastic components in assembly lines.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you have mastered basic through-hole soldering and found that your 60W iron isn't enough for large ground planes or thick PCBs, it’s time to upgrade your workflow.
• Feature Upgrade: This station unlocks the ability to work with lead-free solder and high-density BGAs. It provides the "bottom heat" necessary to desolder components that are thermally coupled to large internal copper layers.
• Effort Level: Intermediate. Requires an understanding of thermal profiles to prevent overheating components.

Virtual Technician & Wiring

• Safety Warning: The heating surface remains extremely hot for up to 20 minutes after the power is switched off. Always observe the "Hot" indicator.
• Setup: Connect the provided 3-pin power cord to a grounded 15A or 6A socket. Ensure the plate is on a heat-resistant surface (Silicon mat or metal bench).

Package Includes:

• 1 x Heating Station
• 2 x Power Cord Wooder- handle Tools
• 1 x User Manual
• 1 x Metal Scraper

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How long does it take to reach 250°C?
  It typically reaches 250°C in under 5 minutes due to the high-wattage 700W element.
• Can I use this for reflow soldering?
  Yes, it is widely used for reflow soldering SMD boards by manually following a temperature profile.
• Is the surface non-stick?
  It is a polished aluminum surface; while not "Teflon" coated, solder splashes can be easily scraped off once cool.
• Does it support 110V power?
  No, this specific model is designed for the Indian 220V-240V standard.
• Can it handle 12-layer PCBs?
  Yes, the 700W power is sufficient to preheat heavy, high-thermal-mass multi-layer boards.
• What is the maximum weight the plate can hold?
  It can comfortably support up to 5kg of equipment.
• Is the temperature control digital?
  Yes, it uses a microcomputer PID controller for precise increments.
• Can I use this to remove screens from smartphones?
  Yes, set it to 70°C-90°C to safely soften screen adhesives.
• Is it safe to leave on for long periods?
  It is designed for industrial use, but we recommend turning it off when not in active use.
• Does it come with a warranty?
  Yes, it includes a standard 6-month manufacturer warranty against heating element defects.
• Can I replace the heating element?
  Yes, the heating rods are standard sizes and can be serviced.
• What happens if the sensor fails?
  The microcomputer will display an 'Err' code and immediately cut power for safety.
• Is the fuse user-replaceable?
  Yes, there is a 10A fuse located in the power socket housing on the back.
• Will it work for desoldering LED strips?
  It is the most recommended tool for repairing LED backlight strips.
• How do I clean the plate?
  Use a soft cloth and Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) only when the plate is cold.
• Does it emit smoke during the first use?
  A slight smell or faint smoke is normal during the first "burn-in" cycle as manufacturing oils evaporate.
• Is it grounded?
  Yes, the chassis is fully grounded to prevent ESD.
• Can I use it as a lab hot plate for liquids?
  While possible, it is optimized for PCB work; ensure no liquids spill into the electronics.
• What is the size of the total machine?
  Approximately 215mm x 215mm footprint.
• Can it maintain a temperature of exactly 100°C?
  Yes, the PID controller keeps fluctuations within ±1°C.
