GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The MBT 201A and MBT 101A Universal Soldering/Desoldering Systems provide the user with the power
and versatility to remove and install SMD and Thru-Hole devices. The power source incorporates a highly
responsive SensaTemp (closed-loop) temperature control system which provides power to the two output
channels on the MBT 201A systems and to a single output channel on the MBT 101A systems. Accessory
handpieces (standard & optional) and special use tips allow the user to remove and replace a wide variety
of surface mount components.
The self-contained AUTO SNAP-VAC pump provides an automatic minimum on-time of 1.2 seconds to
virtually eliminate re-sweat joints, tip clogging and maintenance while dramatically increasing tip life.
Virtually all of todays specialized handpieces with large SMD tips suffer from a problem in which the
actual tip temperature that the work sees can be more than 100°F cooler than the Set Tip Temperature on
the Variable Temperature Control. MBT 201A/101A systems feature PACEs unique Tip & Temperature
Selection System which allows the user to set the true temperature desired for any size and type of tip or
handpiece.
The MBT 101A and MBT 201A systems are available in either the 115 VAC version, 100 VAC version or
230 VAC version. The 230 VAC version system bears the CE Conformity Marking which assures the user
that it conforms to all the requirements of council directive EMC 89/336/EEC. The systems package the
power source with a selection of accessories and functional aids. These systems are as follows.
