Features:

• Sensor with closed-loop PID control, temperature control is accurate and stable
• An anti-static design effectively prevents damage to delicate components
• Aluminum Heating Plate
• High efficiency, long service life.
• Mobile Phone Repair: Essential for separating LCD screens from glass digitsers by softening the OCA glue (typically at 80°C-100°C).
• BGA Rework: Preheating motherboards prevents PCB warping and ensures solder balls under the BGA chip reflow simultaneously.
• LED Reflow: Perfect for soldering aluminum-backed LED strips or MCPCBs which act as giant heatsinks and are impossible to solder with an iron.
• Desoldering Connector Banks: Easily remove massive connectors (HDMI, RJ45) without ripping pads by heating the board to 150°C first.

Applications:

• Widely used for soldering or de-soldering BGA, SOIC, QFP, PLCC style surface mount devices
• Widely used for Repair Works like Phone LCD replacement, etc.
• Also used for Heat Shrinking, drying, paint stripping, adhesive removal, defrosting, pre-heating glue soldering, etc

Package Includes: 1 x UYUE 946C Preheat Desoldering Rework Station Aluminium Heating plate 220V  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the maximum temperature this hot plate can reach?
  The unit is rated for a maximum of 350°C, though for most PCB rework, you will rarely exceed 250°C.
• Can I use this for mobile screen separation?
  Yes, this is the industry standard for screen separation. Set the temperature between 80°C and 100°C for safe glue softening.
• Is the temperature display in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
  The LED display indicates temperature in Degrees Celsius (°C).
• How long does it take to heat up to 200°C?
  With 600W of power, it typically reaches 200°C in under 3-5 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.
• Is the heating uniform across the entire plate?
  Yes, the heavy aluminium block ensures excellent thermal conductivity, minimizing hot/cold spots across the 200x200mm area.
• Can I reflow a double-sided PCB on this?
  You need to be careful. If you place a double-sided board flat, bottom components may desolder. Use standoffs or a high-temp fixture to elevate the board slightly if components are on the bottom.
• Does this unit save the last used temperature?
  Yes, most production batches of the 946C retain the last set temperature after a power cycle.
• Is it safe to leave the unit on all day?
  While built for industrial use, we recommend turning it off when not in use to extend the heating element's lifespan and save energy.
• What happens if the display shows "EEE"?
  This usually indicates a sensor error or a disconnected thermocouple. Contact Probots Tech-Bridge support for troubleshooting.
• Can I replace the heating element if it fails?
  Yes, the 946C is designed to be serviceable. Replacement elements and thermocouples are standard parts.
• Is this ESD safe?
  The chassis is grounded through the 3-pin power cord, making it ESD safe for handling sensitive electronics.
• Will this work for reballing GPU chips?
  It is excellent as a preheater for GPU work to prevent board warping, but you will still need a top heater or hot air gun to reflow the BGA solder balls.
• How do I calibrate the temperature if I suspect it's off?
  There are usually calibration potentiometers inside the unit, but we recommend using an external thermometer to verify before attempting calibration.
• Can I use this for removing glass from OLED screens?
  Yes, but OLEDs are more heat sensitive. Keep temperatures strictly below 85°C to avoid damaging the display.
