JBC PHB-SA PHBS Large PCB Support
Product Information
The PHBS Support is a PCB support tool designed for use with PCBs up to 36x28cm/14×11 inches. It is compatible with the PHB-SA reference model. The support comes with a clamp knob, rubber cap, Allen key, sliding guide, and slot clamps. The maximum PCB dimension between clamps is 36×28 cm/14×11 inches, with a thickness of 6 mm/0.236 inches. The support features a guide knob height adjusting system and offers three height adjustment positions: low level (28 mm), medium level (38 mm), and high level (48 mm). It also includes a fast PCB replacement mechanism using sliding guides.
Product Usage Instructions
- To change the height of the support, follow these steps:
- To raise the support, hold the base and pull up.
- To lower the support, press the button and move down.
- Choose one of the three height adjustment positions (low level, medium level, or high level) according to your working needs.
- To replace PCBs quickly using the sliding guides, follow these steps:
- Loosen one sliding guide, pull it back, and lift out the current PCB.
- Position the new PCB and tighten the sliding guide knobs.
- If you need to work with PCBs larger than the support or thicker than 3mm, use the four rubber caps provided. Follow these steps:
- Remove the screw caps and screws along with both guides.
- Place the PCB on the four rubber caps.
- The PCB is now ready to work.
- For maintenance, ensure the support has cooled down before proceeding. Clean the support periodically, especially the axes of the sliding guide, using a damp cloth. Alcohol can be used to clean the metal parts only. Replace any defective or damaged pieces with original JBC spare parts. Repairs should only be performed by a JBC-authorized technical service.
- The PHBS Support complies with CE standards and is ESD-safe.
