PACE Launch Diamond Series Tips

Diamond Series Tips are designed for maximum life, even when using corrosive lead free solders, and for maximum heat transfer putting highly productive soldering within reach easily. Traditionally, soldering tips are manufactured by forming the desired shape of the tip out of copper, then plating the copper with a protective layer of pure iron.

SODRTEK ST 300 Convective Rework System

PACE is pleased to introduce the new SODRTEK ST 300 convective rework system. The ST 300 is the simplest and least costly convective rework system. The ST 300 is used to remove any SMD and for installing chip and leaded components that can be positioned manually. The ST 300 is a self-contained system with analog (dial) controls for temperature and airflow.

MBT 350 Press Release

Not all applications are equal and being stuck with a rework system with a single heating technology just doesn't cut it in today's fast paced world. Most rework systems only offer one type of heating technology, even though "variety" is the common denominator in modern PCB rework. A single heating technology is never going to fit every application and willing operators struggle to make it work.

Lead Free?

Many of our valued customers have questions about how lead-free solder will affect their hand soldering processes. Across the board, lead-free solders have a higher melting point than lead containing Eutectic or 60/40 solder alloys. The effect of the higher melting temperatures results in a tighter process window and demands more control over the process.
