Metcal Intros Digital Hot Air Pencil for Light Rework
Cypress, CA — Metcal has intro- duced its HCT2-200 digital hot air pencil. The tool is the latest addition to the company’s line of convection rework equipment. The digital, handheld hot air pencil is de- signed for light rework applica- tions, including small compo- nents and ICs. The shape of the pencil al-
lows the user freedom to access and rework components on the board without affecting adjacent parts. Larger handheld convec- tion systems commonly reflow and dislodge adjacent compo- nents, due to a higher minimum airflow. The HCT2-200 was de- veloped for very small surface mount components and low board densities. The HCT2 series of digital hot

air pencils comes with an array of nozzle sizes for precision control. The new hot air pencil’s improved ther- mal performance allows the user to rework a larger variety of compo-
nents. Metcal has also made working under a microscope easier with op- tional bent nozzles. New features in- clude a 200W ceramic heater and dual-stage air pump, a new replace-

ters measure the amount of ionic con- tamination in accordance with all ex- isting test methods, often referred to as ROSE (resistivity of solvent ex- tracted) testing, as well as PICT (pairwise independent combinatorial testing). The CM33L+ is a freestanding
system able to accommodate larger assemblies, while maintaining a low surface-area-to-test solution ratio. The CM33L+ is equipped with en- hanced plumbing, designed to main-
tain optimal test accuracy. The sys- tem is built to accurately measure the amount of ionic contamination present on a circuit board, compo- nent or assembly. ABT leverages robust processes,
state-of-the-art manufacturing capa- bilities and subject matter expertise to provide its customers with prod- ucts that are on time and to specifica- tion. The company’s primary areas of expertise include cable and wire har- nessing, electronics manufacturing, electromechanical integration, CNC machining, electronics and intercon- nect design, and testing and qualifi-
cation. Contact: Ascentech LLC, 127

EUTECT Offers Controlled Laser Soldering
HELP PROTECT STATIC SENSITIVE
DEVICES Booth #803 Tucson 10-15 September
ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340, JEDEC JESD625B Compliant
Dusslingen, Germany —In order to ac- commodate the manufacturing process needs of ever-smaller components, EU- TECT is now offering controlled, pin- point-accurate, fast laser soldering. With laser soldering, direct mechanical contact with the soldering point is eliminated. This makes laser soldering a useful method for reaching into con- fined spaces on a PCB. Laser sources are divided into

various categories. These include gas, solid and semiconductor lasers. The laser-active medium is important, as it determines the wavelength of the laser as well as the radiation quality. Radiation quality influences the laser’s energy density and ability to focus. Medium- or low-energy densi- ties are needed for laser soldering. For these connections, the solder joints must be efficiently and evenly heated, without scorching the material. For EUTECT, the diode laser
presents the best solution. A diode laser’s output power is easy to regu-
late. The power can be adjusted smoothly into the kHz range. Anoth- er advantage is its radiation focus- ing, which puts the laser in position to solder 7 mil (180 µm) solder joints.
Diode laser soldering system. Focusing with fixed focal widths
limits the local energy impact, reduc- ing thermal load on the components
