Infrared PCB Preheater, 4 Zone Bench-Top, ESD Safe

The Hakko FR872-03 is a is a low profile, bench-top PCB board preheater designed to elevate the temperature of printed circuit board assemblies so that components on them can be soldered and de-soldered more easily, and with improved results. This is particularly useful on medium to high-mass board assemblies, which can “heat-sink” a significant amount of energy being supplied by a soldering iron tip, or handheld hot air tool. The FR-872 is particularly useful when soldering Pb-Free assemblies..
