PCBite kit

Introduction

PCBite holds your circuit board during soldering, inspection and testing.

At the bottom of each holder is a strong magnet perfectly balanced in
strength. A low friction bottom cap protects the magnet and makes the
PCBite holder easy to slide. The “jaw” can open wide and a spring
ensures a really strong locking force.

One side of the baseplate is matte and the other mirror polished. The
mirror polished surface makes it easy to see components on the circuit
board underside.

2. Base plate

3. Insulation washer

4. Insulation cover*

*Not included in all kits. Available as an accessory and sold separately (article 4017).

Getting started - Baseplate

The baseplate has two sides for different usage and preference.

A microfibre cloth or similar can be used to polish the mirror surface

The mirror polished side is covered with a protective film and must be
removed before use.

Getting started - Insulation washer assembly

Add extra isolation during measurements with the washers.

1. Pick up the washer end and press the sleeve downwards. Notice
the open slot on the washer

2. Slide the washer around the pin and place the adhesive towards
the lower aluminium surface

3. Repeat for upper side

4. Release the spring loaded sleeve

Do not use the washers for environments above 85°C (185°F).

Getting started - Insulation cover assembly*

The cover protects your base plate, adds extra isolation during
measurements and is also great for use with a microscope to avoid
reflective light.

1. Pick up the cover end peel of the release liner a little bit to reveal
the adhesive

2. Align the edge on the cover towards the edge on the base plate
and press along the edge to make the adhesive stick

3. Keep removing the release line carefully and keep pressing the
cover towards the base plate. Make sure the cover is aligned to
the base plate

4. You are finished!

Do not use the cover for environments above 85°C (185°F).

*Not included in all kits. Available as an accessory and sold separately (article 4017).
