Seeing DJ's hot plate photo brought to mind a link I once saw, where a guy built a home-brew SMT hot plate. I can't find the link, but as I recall, he used a few low-ohm high-watt power resistors epoxied to a piece of aluminum sheet.
You need to check the temperature rating and the thermal resistance of the resistor package. You don't want destruct the resistor as you construct your boards ;-) You are probably better of with a strip heater or cartridge heater and the aluminum plate. McMaster Carr sells both. -- http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
