The PS-800 Soldering System revolutionizes hand soldering by combining the power and superior process control advantages of SmartHeat(R), with the system quality and innovative design of Metcal irons. Designed to be the perfect, compact soldering system for repetitive manual assembly and touch-up, the PS-800 Soldering System incorporates an innovative, compact power supply that fits on or under the bench. In addition, the PS-800 Soldering System requires no calibration. http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm 11/07/2005 Metcal - products - PS-800 Page 2 of 7 Minimal Cost Of Ownership The PS-800 Soldering System employs replaceable heater tips rather than cartridges, making cost of ownership extremely competitive. The unique two-piece design separates the heater coil from the tip. The long-life heater coil remains in the handle,while replaceable tips are easily removed and replaced. Most importantly,the cost of the heater tips is comparable to that of conventional tips. Metcal has developed 33 soldering tip geometries for the PS-800 Soldering System, each available in a variety of temperature ranges. Plus, enhancements to SmartHeat(R) technology have allowed us to increase the plating thickness of the tips. The result is extended tip life without reducing thermal performance. Perfect For Lead-Free Hand Soldering The most important technical challenge of lead-free hand soldering is being able to solder heat sensitive components at 215-220 C, without causing damage. This requires a soldering system that can deliver high levels of accuracy to a traceable standard. Metcal's PS-800 Soldering System is perfect for leadfree hand soldering. As SmartHeat(R) maintains a constant tip temperature it allows the higher temperature requirements of lead-free alloys to be met without increasing the tip temperature. Thus, the risk of thermal damage is eliminated. The PS-800 Soldering System allows operators to produce high quality product quickly, easily and safely. It is a reliable, hassle-free production tool that can be used to solder lead-free PCBs immediately without needing to be continually re-calibrated to meet the higher temperature requirements. http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm 11/07/2005 Metcal - products - PS-800 Page 3 of 7 PS-800 SOLDERING SYSTEM System Includes Power Supply With Power Cord, Hand-Piece With Cord, Workstand With Sponge And Cartridge Removal Pad Part No. Description PS-800 PS-800 Soldering System ACCESSORIES & SPARE PARTS Part No. Description PS-PW1 PS-800 Power Supply PS-WSK1 PS-800 Workstand with Sponge PS-WSC1 PS-800 Cradle AC-YS4 Sponge 79.25mm o x 25.4mm (3.12"o x 1") PS-HC1 PS-800 Soldering Handle with Coil Assembly PS-CA1 PS-800 Coil Assembly AC-CP2 Cartridge Removal Pad AC-PM Power Meter -AC PS-800 SOLDER TIP CARTRIDGES PHT-XY0315 Chisel Fine 30 1.0mm (.04") PHT-XY1384 Chisel 30 5.0mm (.20") PHT-XY0326 http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm 11/07/2005 Metcal - products - PS-800 Page 4 of 7 Chisel Fine/Bent 30 1.5mm (.06") PHT-XY0335 Chisel Fine 30 1.78mm (.07") 0.4mm (.016") PHT-XY2035 Conical Fine 0.4mm (.016") PHT-XY1355 Chisel 30 PHT-XY2057 Conical Fine 2.5mm (.10") 1.0mm (.04") PHT-XY0325 Chisel 60 1.5mm (.06") PHT-XY1367 Chisel 30 3.0mm (.12") PHT-XY2337 Conical Fine/Bent 30 http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm PHT-XY2017 Conical 60 PHT-XY2327 Conical Fine Bent 0.4mm (.016") PHT-XY2335 Conical Fine/Bent 30 0.5mm (.02") PHT-XY4497 Hoof 45 11/07/2005 Metcal - products - PS-800 Page 5 of 7 0.5mm (.02") 4.0mm (.16") PHT-XY3035 Conical 30 PHT-XY4697 Hoof 60 0.5mm (.02") 4.0mm (.16") PHT-XY3067 Conical Long 1.0mm (.04") PHT-XY4607 Minihoof 60 0.5mm (.02") PHT-XY4617 Minihoof 45 0.5mm (.02") PHT-XY4627 Minihoof 60 1.0mm (.04") http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm PHT-XY4627F Minihoof 60 Face Only 1.0mm (.04") PHT-XY4637F Minihoof 60 Face Only 1.0mm (.04") PHT-XY4467F Hoof 45 Face Only 2.0mm (.08") PHT-XY4487F Hoof 45 Face Only 3.0mm (.12") 11/07/2005 Metcal - products - PS-800 Page 6 of 7 PHT-XY4637 Minihoof 60 1.5mm (.06") PHT-XY4467 Hoof 45 2.0mm (.08") PHT-XY4667 Hoof 60 2.0mm (.08") PHT-XY4497F Hoof 45 Face Only 4.0mm (.16") PHT-XY5437 Knife Sharp 45 3.0mm (.12") PHT-XY5457 Knife Sharp 45 4.5mm (.18") PHT-XY4487 Hoof 45 PHT-XY5477 Knife Bevel 45 3.0mm (.12") 5.0mm (.20") PHT-XY4687 Hoof 60 3.0mm (.12") http://www.metcal.com/products/ps800.htm 11/07/2005
