PDR Launches Hot Plate Attachments for LED and Flex Circuit Rework
June 5, 2017 | PDR AmericasEstimated reading time: 1 minute
PDR has launched its new aluminum clad PCB rework tools for LED rework, flex circuit rework and aluminum clad circuit card assemblies. Designed to be incorporated into PDR's existing line-up of Focused IR Rework Machines, PDR’s new Hot Plate series incorporates all of the best attributes of PDR technology into a contact heating system, thereby efficiently providing the thermal energy necessary to tackle the widest range of applications possible.
Upon inserting the Hot Plate of your choice into PDR’s Standard PCB Fixturing System and initiating the profile, the system begins to gently heat the substrate material together with PDR’s Thermal Active Suite Profile Management System. Component removal/placement and temperature control is performed utilizing PDR’s standard mechanics and software system.
The Hot Plate series can be ordered separately or during the initial purchase of a PDR system and comes with a two-year warranty. Either use PDR’s standard IR quartz emitter preheat technology for non-contact PCB heating or incorporate PDR's contact heating technology as the situation demands, offering you the flexibility to address a wide range of applications with just one PDR rework system.
PDR offers solutions for LED rework, flex circuit rework and aluminum clad circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for the automotive, aerospace, industrial and military sectors.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
