500-003 (MEGA)

A popular PCB etching tank with thermostat controlled heater and pump, which forces air through two bubble bars to provide efficient and even etching. The temperature of the Ferric Chloride etching solution (optimum -40 -45°) is adjusted by a control knob, and the air pump and mains supply are controlled via illuminated switches - all are mounted on the control panel to the front of the unit. PCBs are safely and tidily lowered into the tank using the lid basket and are then drained and lifted from the tank when worked. The tank is designed to provide a high degree of safety to users, having splash proof controls and a syphon pump to safely empty the tank and avoid spillages. Supplied with IEC socket and a 2m mains lead with moulded 13A plug. Maximum board size: 320x260mm.
