## Description

If you loved the [original Mini Hot Plate MHP30](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-hot-plate-preheater-with-usb-c-power-supply.html), but always wanted a little more space and *oomph* - there's now a second version, the **MHP50**! With 1.5x~2.5x more power than the MHP30, it heats up faster and has a bigger rework area.

The **MHP50** **Mini Hot Plate Preheater** can be powered with USB C PD at 20V for 100W, or 20~24V DC for 150W. It's the perfect solution for warming up small PCBs for desoldering/rework AND feeling like a sorcerer conjuring through alchemy. This upgraded version comes with a larger 5x5cm brass hot plate with a heat-resistant coating, lower center of gravity so you don't have to worry about tipping over, color TFT instead of mono OLED, and two input power options.

While you could have a full-blown (pun intended) [hot air rework station](https://core-electronics.com.au/search?q=hot+air), this lil' preheater is a fast and portable option. Takes approximately 150 seconds to go from room temperature to 300ºC. The mini-tower-shaped controller has a color LCD display and two buttons. There's also an LED that changes color as the temperature rises. Other smart modes include preset temperature, tilt protection, power wake-up, and automatic sleep.

Adafruit use ours to reflow small PCBs with solder paste, or to rework boards by heating them up so they can easily remove or re-align components.

**Kit includes:**

- MHP50 Controller and Hot Plate
- Silicone USB C Cable (20V 5A) **Note that a 20V 5A USB PD power supply is not included!** You'll need to pick up a 100W 'laptop' power supply with USB type C PD support, if you don't have one.
