New Metcal HCT2-120
Digital Hot Air Pencil
HAND HELD CONVECTION REWORK
• 120 Watt Ceramic Heater and Dual Stage Air Pump: Provides the power and
performance needed to deliver the right amount of thermal energy.
• Digital Airflow and Temperature Controls: Two LED displays provide a
graphical and numerical representation of the desired airflow and temperature.
• Fast Response and Performance: A microprocessor controlled, closed loop
feedback system provides fast heating, precise and stable temperature control.
• Standby Mode: When the hand-piece is placed into the workstand, the
temperature will drop prolonging heater life.
• Universal Power Supply: Automatically senses the input line voltage and
adjusts accordingly, which allows for worldwide operation without adaptors or a
change in performance.
• Ergonomic and Light Weight Hand-Piece: Slim and ergonomic design hand-
piece that feels like a pencil, with a rubber grip.
• Nozzles: Six nozzles (1.5 mm – 4.0 mm) are included in the unit with a nozzle
plate holder inside the workstand.
• Easily Change Heaters and Nozzles: Both can be changed in seconds.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The new HCT2-120 Hot Air Pencil is the latest addition
to Metcal’s offering of convection rework tools. This
digital handheld convection tool is ideally suited for
applications, which use smaller components and
integrated circuits.
As component miniaturization continues, the ergonomics
of a pencil allow a user more freedom to access and
rework components on the board without affecting
adjacent parts.
