It can be rotated 360° for optimal positioning. Rubber pads protect circuit board components from damage. The height is adjustable to five settings (72.5mm, 78.0mm, 84.5mm, 91.0mm, or 97.5mm) and the opening width adjusts from 0 to 20mm. External dimensions are φ57 x 88 mm and it weighs 1.2 kg. This holder is compatible with the SMD-BGA repair system and FR-830.
The Hakko C1390C PCB Holder Stand is designed for electronics repair technicians and hobbyists who need a stable and flexible platform for working on circuit boards. Its key benefit is the 360° rotation and adjustable height, allowing for optimal viewing and access during soldering or desoldering. A potential caveat is its weight (1.2 kg), which provides stability but makes it less portable. This stand features adjustable component clamps, a rotating base, and compatibility with specific Hakko systems.

FAQs
What is the maximum PCB size this holder can accommodate?
The holder's clamp opening width adjusts from 0 to 20mm. This range is suitable for a wide variety of PCB thicknesses, but the overall board dimensions are not directly limited by the holder itself, rather by how securely it can be clamped within the 20mm opening.
Can this holder be used with other soldering stations?
While the holder is designed for optimal integration with Hakko's SMD-BGA repair system and FR-830, it can be used independently with most circuit boards as a general-purpose PCB vise, provided the board fits within the clamp's opening width.
How much weight can the holder support?
The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, its 1.2 kg weight and robust construction suggest it is designed for standard PCB sizes encountered in repair and assembly.
Are replacement rubber pads available?
Yes, replacement rubber pads are typically available through Hakko authorized service centers or parts suppliers. It is recommended to use genuine Hakko parts for optimal performance and protection.
What are the dimensions of the base?
The external dimensions of the holder are φ57 x 88 mm.
Does the holder come assembled?
The Hakko C1390C PCB Holder Stand is typically shipped assembled and ready for use, requiring only placement on a workbench and insertion of the PCB.
Troubleshooting
PCB holder does not grip the board securely.
Ensure the opening width is correctly adjusted to match the PCB dimensions. Check that the clamp jaws are clean and free of debris. Tighten the clamp mechanism sufficiently, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the board.
Rotation is stiff or difficult.
Inspect the rotation base for any obstructions or foreign material. Clean the base mechanism. If stiffness persists, a very light application of a suitable lubricant might be considered, but consult the product manual if available.
Height adjustment is loose or won't hold position.
Verify that the desired height setting is properly engaged. Ensure no debris is obstructing the height adjustment mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal locking mechanism may require attention or professional inspection.
Rubber pads are damaged or missing.
Contact Hakko support or a certified parts distributor for replacement rubber pads. Ensure they are installed correctly to protect components from damage during clamping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Place the Hakko C1390C on a stable, level workbench.
Adjust the clamp opening width to accommodate your Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Carefully place the PCB into the clamps, ensuring it is centered and secure.
Adjust the clamp tension by tightening the mechanism until the PCB is held firmly but without undue pressure.
Select the desired height using the adjustable height settings.
Rotate the stand to the optimal viewing angle.
Compatibility:
Compatible with Hakko SMD-BGA repair system.
Compatible with Hakko FR-830.
Suitable for most standard PCBs with an opening width requirement of 0-20mm.
Care:
Wipe the stand with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Periodically check the rubber pads for wear and tear; replace if damaged to ensure component protection.
Ensure the height adjustment mechanism and rotation base move freely; clean and lubricate lightly if necessary, following manufacturer recommendations if available.
