Designed to work with lead-free paste (Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu.5). Before placing the PCB in the oven cut a piece of the Temperature Marker with a blade or a sharp knife and place it on the surface of the board next to a large component (PLCC or QFP). Make sure you can see the Temperature Marker material through the oven door. The Temperature Marker material is opaque initially but when 475 °F (246 °C) is reached the material liquifies and becomes shiny, non-reversibly.

HANDI-VAC KIT, Static dissipative, with static dissipative Buna-N vacuum cups. (1) 1/8” and (1) 1/4” vacuum cups on bent probes and (1) 1/8” and (1) 3/8” vacuum cups on straight probes. The vacuum-bulb type tools are the lowest cost pick-and-place tools available. These tools operate very similar to a tweezer. Simply squeeze the vacuum bulb, place the soft suction cup to the part to be handled, then relax your squeeze and the part is firmly gripped. A second squeeze releases the part.
