Convection Preheater (230 Volt Version)
The JBC PHBE-2A is a 230 volt convection preheater. It has two independent zones which work with convection technology and cover a total area of 14.2 x 10.9". Up to four thermocouples can be connected to the PHBE, and it can also be synced with other JBC soldering and hot air systems. Please note, due to its voltage, this model cannot be used in the United States. If you are in the United States, please see the PHBE-1A.
The PHBE features three work modes:
- Power Mode allows working at a fixed power level with the option of using protection thermocouples
- Temperature Mode keeps the PCBA at a selected temperature, using the regulation thermocouple and, optionally, protection thermocouples
- Profile Mode allows control of the heating rate of the PBCA by the use of control and protection thermocouples, without exceeding the recommended limit levels in each application
The PHBE incorporates three recommended predefined profiles:
- For 1.6mm PCB with 2 layers
- For 1.6mm PCB with 4-6 layers
- For 2.2mm PCB with 6 or more layers
- In addition, it features 22 customizable profiles
