• 200 Watt ceramic heater
• Digital airflow and temperature controls

This digital handheld convection tool is ideally suited for light rework applications, which use smaller components and integrated circuits. As component miniaturization continues (e.g. 01005 components), the ergonomics of a pencil become more important to allow a user freedom to access and rework components on the board without affecting adjacent parts. Larger handheld convection systems commonly reflow and dislodge adjacent components due to a higher minimum airflow. The HCT2 series of Digital Hot Air Pencils have always included an array of nozzle sizes for precision control. The HCT2-200's improved thermal performance allows the user to target a larger variety of components. Metcal has made working under a microscope easier with the optional bent nozzles. Add the HCT2-200 to your workbench and experience improved performance.
