PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Aoyue INT2703A+ Advanced LeadFree Repairing System is a
reworking equipment that combines the functionality of Hot Air Gun,
SolderingIron,SmokeAbsorber,andDesolderingGuninonepackage.
ThedualportsystemoftheInt2703A+allowssimultaneoususeof
thedesolderinggunandsolderingiron.
The nozzle is specially designed with air spreader technology to
disperseheatandairevenlygreatlyenhancingtheheatoutputformore
effective reflows. When paired with our fourth generation BGA nozzle
technology, reworking larger BGAs (CPUs GPUs) will be even more
efficientandrepeatable.
It has several safety features such as the autocooling process of
the Hot Air Gun. This functionality protects the device (and its
components) from excessive heat upon reaching any of the following
conditions: (1) when the soldering gun remained idle on its resting
handle after a certain period and (2) when the temperature of the
deviceisaboveasafethresholduponturningoff.
It has several advanced features such as solder iron and
desolderinggundigitalcalibration,configurableautosleepforthehotair
