*Temperature uniformity is the surface temperature variance from the center of the hot plate to the outer edges and corners.
IMPORTANCE NOTICE:  The 1/8" silicone sponger rubber padding put on top of the HPS framework to improve operator comfort and reduce the framework surface temperature may be harmful to some SMD applications.  Concerns regarding the possible contamination of SMD devices from contact with the silicone padding has made it necessary to offer the HPS without silicone padding for sensitive applications.  The HPS may be used without any padding at all (the framework has a painted surface) or the user can apply their own recommended padding.  Please refer to ordering code for additional information.
