Metcal HCT2-200 Digital Hot Air System, Precision Rework for Miniature Components

The Metcal HCT2-200 is a compact, digital hot air pencil system designed for high-precision rework of miniature surface mount components. Ideal for low-density PCBs, this tool offers unmatched control and ergonomic performance for delicate rework applications.

Key Features

  • 200W ceramic heater with fast thermal response
  • Digital controls with dual LED temperature and airflow display
  • Lightweight, pencil-style ergonomic handpiece for detailed work
  • Six interchangeable precision nozzles (1.5 mm – 4.0 mm) included
  • Standby mode for extended heater life
  • Microprocessor-controlled closed-loop feedback system
  • Tool-free nozzle, heater, and handpiece replacement

Description

The Metcal HCT2-200 Digital Hot Air System is engineered for precision electronics rework, particularly in environments where **miniature components like 01005s and 1206s** are used. Unlike larger hot air rework systems that risk disturbing adjacent parts, the slim, ergonomic pencil design of the HCT2-200 allows for precise targeting without collateral airflow damage.

Featuring a 200-watt ceramic heater, dual-stage air pump, and real-time digital control over airflow and temperature, the HCT2-200 delivers consistent performance across a wide thermal range (100°C–450°C). A closed-loop feedback system ensures quick heat-up times and stability for sensitive SMD rework.

Designed for use under a microscope, the HCT2-200 also supports optional bent nozzles for greater visibility and control. This makes it an essential tool for R&D labs, repair centers, and electronics manufacturers focused on high-precision assemblies.
