Introduction
The MBT 201 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 201 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 201 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 201 systems are available in a 115 VAC (97-127 VAC) version or a 230 VAC (196-253 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
includes the power source with a selection of accessories and functional aids. These systems are
as follows.

General Information
StandardHandpieces
All capabilities are dependent upon the use of the appropriate Functional Accessories or Work Aids.
Available handpieces and their associated assembly and repair functions are listed below (a manual
is provided separately with each handpiece which describes the applications and recommended
procedures for that particular tool).
PS-90 Soldering Iron - Standard handpiece on MBT 201 & MBT 201E systems. Provides a wide range
of SMD and thru-hole installation and removal capability as well as unsurpassed thermal performance on
heavy, multilayer thru-hole assemblies at safe, lower working temperatures. A wide variety of 3/16"
shank, quick change thru-hole and SMD tips (for chip components, SOTs, SOICs and other components)
areavailable.
SX-80 Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece - Standard handpiece on MBT 201 & MBT 201E systems. Provides
thermally enhanced thru-hole desoldering on heavy multilayer assemblies, especially during continuous
use. With the unique Flo-D-Sodr tip, the Sodr-X-Tractor performs safe, continuous SMT land cleaning
and preparation. The slim-line, pencil-grip design and finger-actuated vacuum switch allow easy use and
manipulation in tight places.
OptionalHandpieces
TT-65 ThermoTweez Handpiece - Provides safe, one-handed reflow and removal of PLCCs, LCCCs,
chip components and other surface mount devices. Its high thermal capacity and targeted heat quickly
removes large SMDs without damage to the board or adjacent components, even on heavy, multilayer
assemblies. The unique, vertically oriented design and a wide variety of quick change tips easily reach
into tight work areas for safe SMD removal.
PS-70 Soldering Iron - Designed for high volume, single point soldering operations. It's thin heater and
balanced feel make the PS-70 the perfect choice for applications where visibility and iron control is
required, such as micro-soldering applications. The PS-70 is one of the most responsive irons on the
market due to its quick-heat generator that provides fast and stable heat flow as needed. The PS-70
uses 1/8" shank, quick change PERMAGROUND tips.

PQFPs and FlatPacks in just seconds. The high thermal efficiency design targets controlled
SensaTemp heat directly at the solder joints, away from sensitive substrate areas and adjacent
components. The ThermoPik’s self-adjusting integral vacuum pick and unique design provide easy, one-
handedoperation.
DTP-80 Dual ThermoPik Handpiece - Provides safe, one-handed reflow and removal of a wide variety of
PQFPs and FlatPacks in just seconds. Its high thermal capacity and targeted heat quickly removes
large SMDs without damage to the board or adjacent components, even on heavy, multilayer assemblies.
