New G4C Ceramic Hotbars for TC-1000 and TC-1200 Controllers
4th Generation Ceramic Thermode
TODDCO released a new fourth generation ceramic thermode (hotbar) that supports earlier generation TODDCO and MicroJoin hotbar bonding systems. “TODDCO continues to support legacy systems with new ceramic hotbars that are compatible with TC-1000 and TC-1200 Temperature Controllers,” says Thomas W. Todd, President/CEO of TODDCO.
G4C Ceramic Hotbar temperature range is ambient to 400°C with embedded thermocouple feedback for optimum temperature control. G4C mounting holes are compatible with all standard TODDCO hot bar mount assemblies. G4C Ceramic Hotbars require no hardware or software changes to interface with TC-1000 or TC-1200 Temperature Controllers.
TODDCO’s patented ceramic hotbar technology provides direct conductive heat on contact to reflow solder or cure Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF). Durable G4C Ceramic Hotbars are built to customer specific dimensions from 12 to 100 mm (approx. 0.5 to 4 in.). Standard width is 3 mm.
“Ceramic hotbars provide the highest degree of flatness during temperature cycles while isolating sensitive leads from incurring voltage during the bonding process,” per TODDCO’s hotbar patent holder, Thomas W. Todd.
