CH-Mini Wave

Lead-free Mini Wave Soldering Machine C-120

This inexpensive bench-top removes or installs through-hole components on SMT boards without damage to adjacent devices. It will process ICs, including DIPs, QFPs, PGAs, connectors and odd forms without reliance on slow, labor-intensive manual methods. The Mini Wave is ideal for short-runs requiring precision and repeatability. Simple to use, the operator first sets the soldering temperature desired from 0° to 399°C – covering any tin/lead or lead-free thermal requirement. The correct nozzle is then selected from the 3 that are included, with many additional custom nozzles also available. The wave is activated by an on/off switch while Z-motion wave immersion and dwell time is governed by foot switch. Component removal occurs when solder bonds are fluidized, allowing the operator to extract the component from the PCB. A replacement device can then be placed on the PCB. After prefluxing, the nozzle is positioned allowing soldering to take place.
