Pace TP-65 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual page 4

INTRODUCTION
The TP-65 ThermoPik handpiece provides safe, one-handed removal of a wide
variety of FlatPacks (FPs) and Plastic Quad Flat Packs (PQFPs) in a matter of
seconds. The ThermoPik is a member of the PACE SensaTemp family of
advanced SMT/Thru-Hole handpieces.
The TP-65 uses a conductive heat transfer process which is very efficient and
which typically allows component removal at temperatures in the 316 - 343°C
(600 - 650°F) range. PACE recommends the use of a 316°C (600°F) tip
temperature setting for initial use in most applications. You should determine
the lowest possible removal temperature to work with on your board and
component types. A low temperature extends tip life.
Always use this handpiece in a well ventilated area to avoid the inhalation
of fumes created by the heating of solder flux.
Remember that the ThermoPik is a component removal tool and is not
intended for installation of components. Other SensaTemp handpieces
are designed for component installation.
