AIT Reflow Soldering Thermodes
The SLD-11 is a thermode originally designed for use on Miyachi Unitek reflow machines, but can be used on any system with an appropriate reflow head. Custom materials are available. Contact the factory for assistance at (870)-269-4367.
Understanding AIT part numbers is very simple. Various dimensions on the drawing are represented by letters, which correspond to values in the part number. The beginning of the part number establishes the thermode series and material, followed by various dimensions. For example, part number SLD-11-M-A.025B.030-J9-S is a Molybdenum thermode with an A dimension of .025”, a J type thermocouple 9” long, and a small phono plug. You can request a quote by filling in dimensions below in the custom part number and indicating the quantity you wish to have quoted in the comments section. Or you can request a quote for a standard part number in the list below by entering a quantity in the box next to the desired part number.
