American Beauty offers the most advanced and complete line of resistance soldering systems available anywhere in the world. Here are just a few of the advantages that you will find with resistance soldering systems:

• Smash Operational Bottlenecks - Concentrated heat reduces solder time many times over.
• Improve Solder Joint Quality - Poor solder joints are often the result of insufficient heat throughout the joint,creating weak spots.
• Eliminate Thermal Damage - Traditional soldering methods introduce too much heat into surrounding areas damaging critical components or desoldering of previously soldered joints.
• Reduce Liability - Light-weight handpieces cool within seconds greatly reducing likelihood of repetitive strain injury and virtually eliminating the burn risk for the user.
• Solder in Tight Spots - Versatile systems allow easy access to restricted areas.
• Cut down on Energy Consumption - Instant heat means you're not paying to heat a soldering station all day long.
• Save on Maintenance and Consumables - Electrodes last twice as long as soldering tips and don't require constant rewetting.

Stop trying to perform your difficult soldering operation the same old way with the same old tools. Try an American Beauty Resistance Soldering System today.

Other Product Data Sheets

Summary: This American Beauty^® Soldering System has been assembled for your convenience, in order to help eliminate confusion when ordering equipment to be used for most of your standard capacity soldering and thermal management applications.

Description: This System consists of a Model 105A12 250 Watt Power Unit, a Model 10541 Regular Tweezer Style Handpiece and a Model 10519 Footswitch.

• Power Unit Description: The Model 105A12 Power Unit has a low-voltage, high amperage, variable output, isolated transformer. The output voltage is 0 - 2.8 VAC (with no load). The control knob reads 0 to 100% of output voltage. This Power Unit may be adapted to automated and fixtured production tooling. For more detailed information please read the Information/Instruction sheet included with the Power Unit in this Kit.
• Handpiece Description: The Model 10541 Handpiece is a Tweezer style, dual stainless steel electrode, Handpiece. It is supplied with two stainless steel (.078" x 1½"(1.98 mm x 38.1 mm)) electrodes for small and micro soldering applications. It has a four-foot (1.22 m) 14-2 HPN neoprene cable, with taper pin quick connect terminals for fast, easy connection to the Model 105A12 Power Unit (push in turning clockwise until snug) and padded handles for operator comfort. It is most often used to provide instant localized heat to create accurate, trustworthy solder joints in standard sized soldering applications. For more detailed information please read the Information/Instruction sheet included with the Handpiece in this Kit.
• Footswitch Description: The Model 10519 Footswitch is a rugged, industrial switch, (wired normally open), with a six-foot (1.83 m) 18-3 SJT cord and NEMA 5-15 P/R piggyback style plug/receptacle. This footswitch is often used, to better control the cycle time needed for an application.
  
  Uses: This System may be used for a wide variety of standard soldering applications. These uses may include, but are not limited to, wire processing, terminations, fiber optics, standard multi-pin connectors, electrical and electronics work, small assemblies, model railroading applications, printed circuit board components, prototyping and many more.

  Please reference the General Operating Instructions for American Beauty^® Resistance Soldering Systems for more detailed operating instructions and guidelines.

  Duty Cycle: The Power Unit has been rated to operate at a 50% maximum duty cycle. Do not operate beyond this rating.
  WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE OF THE POWER UNIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE POWER UNIT HOUSING FOR ANY REASON, DUE TO THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. ELEMENTS CAN GENERATE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHEN POWER IS APPLIED. USE WITH CAUTION TO AVOID BURNS, FIRE OR OTHER POTENTIAL DAMAGE. NORMAL USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS LIKELY TO EXPOSE THE USER TO SOLDERS CONTAINING LEAD, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS (OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM) OR OTHER PROPOSITION 65 LISTED CHEMICALS.

250 Watts (2.8 VAC) of Infinitely Variable Power provides the ideal combination of intensity and control.

Light-weight, palm-sized hand piece with comfort grip padding minimizes operator fatigue.

Copper-coated, stainless steel electrodes can be easily bent, allowing the user to customize the handpiece to their specific application.

Footswitch permits hands-free activation of power, vastly improving control of your applications and virtually eliminating the sparking that is common with other brands of resistance based systems.
