GENERAL INFORMATION

CAPABILITIES

All capabilities are dependent upon the use of the appropriate Functional Accessories or Work Aids.

Available SensaTemp handpieces and their associated assembly and repair functions are listed below (a

manual is provided separately with each handpiece which describes the applications and recommended

procedures for that particular tool).

SP-2A Sodr-Pen Soldering Iron -

 Standard handpiece on MBT 201A, MBT 201AJ & MBT 201AE systems.

Provides a wide range of SMD and thru-hole installation and removal capability as well as unsurpassed thermal

performance on heavy, multilayer thru-hole assemblies at safe, lower working temperatures.  A wide variety of

3/16" shank, quick change thru-hole and SMD tips (for chip components, SOTs, SOICs and other components)

are available.

SP-1A Sodr-Pen Soldering Iron -

 Uses 1/8" shank tips and features a slimmer, more compact heater than the

SP-2A Sodr-Pen for easier access on densely populated assemblies.

SX-70 Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece - 

Standard handpiece on MBT 201A, MBT 201AJ, MBT 201AE, MBT

101A, MBT 101AJ & MBT 101AE systems.  Provides thermally enhanced thru-hole desoldering on heavy

multilayer assemblies, especially during continuous use.  With the unique Flo-D-Sodr tip, the Sodr-X-Tractor

performs safe, continuous SMT land cleaning and preparation.  The slim-line, pencil-grip design and finger-

actuated vacuum switch allow easy use and manipulation in tight places.

TT-65 ThermoTweez Handpiece -

 Provides safe, one-handed reflow and removal of PLCCs, LCCCs, chip

components and other surface mount devices.  Its high thermal capacity and targeted heat quickly removes large

SMDs without damage to the board or adjacent components, even on heavy, multilayer assemblies.  The unique,

vertically oriented design and a wide variety of quick change tips easily reach into tight work areas for safe

SMD removal.

TP-65 ThermoPik Handpiece - 

Provides safe, one-handed reflow and removal of a wide variety of PQFPs and

FlatPacks in just seconds.  The high thermal efficiency design targets controlled SensaTemp heat directly at the

solder joints, away from sensitive substrate areas and adjacent components.  The ThermoPik’s self-adjusting

integral vacuum pick and unique design provide easy, one-handed operation.

TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet Handpiece -

 Provides safe, rapid installation of SMDs including chip components,

SOTs, SOICs, PLCCs, LCCCs and FlatPacks.  The slim-line design and precision focused air flow lets you

easily target controlled heat right at the solder joints without damaging the board or adjacent components.  A

finger-actuated air switch and SensaTemp control provide safe, “on-demand” capability without constant

running of the air pump.
