Hot Plates, Coming Through!
We have two new hot plates for your SMD soldering that you need to check out this week!
Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! This is a pretty cool week in terms of new products because for the first time, we are selling the things that helped get SparkFun Electronics started, and that is hot plates. These soldering tools make SMD/SMT a breeze and we offer them in two different sizes, a mini and a "normal." These are pretty cool products that we are going to be using in our engineering department and we think you'll like them too!
With a 30mm x 30mm working surface this mini hot plate is a great addition to your soldering workstation. With a built-in OLED display to easily navigate and choose settings and has a built-in true color LED that changes color with the rise and fall of the temperature, letting you know if it is warm or cold at a glance.
There is no need to take up much space when doing soldering rework; the MHP50-B5 Hot Plate Preheater is a small 50mm x 50mm soldering hot plate with a built-in OLED display to navigate and choose settings easily. Like above, the controller has a built-in true color LED that changes color with the rise and fall of the temperature, letting you know if it is warm or cold at a glance. It has a temperature range of 100°C~350°C (Max). But this Hot Plate also features a built-in high-speed cooling fan, automatically detecting the controller's temperature, intelligently adjusting the fan speed, and accelerating heat dissipation.
That's it for this week. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! We'll be back with more new products next week so make sure to check back then. Happy hacking!
