Details

One rack from storage through the oven.

All-aluminum and rated to 300 °C (572 °F), so boards stay in the same rack for reflow and bake.

The engineer, who chooses it: Fits the loaders and unloaders your line already runs, in the heat rating your oven needs. It's the one part of the line you choose once and never think about again.
The operator, who uses it: Set the width, lock it, load the boards. When the line backs up, stack up to five full racks on top of each other.
The buyer, who pays for it: In stock with the price on the page, shipped from the USA in under 24 hours on a card or a PO. When a part wears out years from now, you replace the part, not the rack.

Description

What “all-aluminum” actually changes

The B0103GL HT-300C swaps the standard PPE side panels for 5 × interchangeable aluminum sections per wall, no polymer in the thermal path, so the rack stays dimensionally stable through cycles to 300 °C. Lead-free reflow exit temperatures, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 accelerated bake, conformal-coat post-cure, and aerospace high-heat stress testing all run inside the rack’s thermal envelope, load directly from the oven, no cooling step required.

The slot opens to 7.5 mm (0.295″) wide (vs 5 mm (0.197″) on regular gear-track) to clear thicker / warped / populated boards that have grown out of spec after reflow. Same 50-slot capacity, same 10 mm (0.394″) pitch, same gear-track mechanism, same 50–250 mm (1.97″–9.84″) adjustable width range as the B0103GN-80C cousin. The aluminum-panel construction adds 1.7 kg of weight (8 kg vs 6.3 kg empty) for the higher-temperature qualification.

Conductive at 10⁴ Ω and RoHS compliant, like the rest of the B0103 chassis family. The B0103GN-80C and B0103GM-200C cousins offer the same chassis at a lower price for cycles that don’t exceed 80 / 200 °C.

Best uses

SMT loading and unloading: Feeds the loader and takes boards off the unloader.
Reflow and cure: Boards stay in the rack at up to 300 °C (572 °F).
Between process steps: A full lot moves from cell to cell without anyone handling single boards.
Storage: Boards stay upright and apart on the shelf.

Why factories use PCB racks

A board is most at risk while it waits between steps: static, scratches, bent edges and mix-ups.
A rack holds every board upright and apart, each in its own slot.
A conductive rack carries static away instead of letting it build up on the boards.
Magazine racks also feed boards straight into SMT loaders and unloaders.
The boards in one rack are worth far more than the rack.

IPC and industry standards

IPC-1601: The IPC guideline for handling and storing printed boards: keep them clean, dry and protected from damage between fabrication and assembly. Our racks are conductive, 10⁴ Ω.
IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033: The standard for handling, packing and baking moisture-sensitive devices. A rack rated for the bake temperature lets the boards stay in it through the bake.
IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033: The moisture-sensitive-device handling standard. It sets the bake profiles (typically 90–125 °C) used to drive moisture out of MSD boards before reflow, which is why a rack's temperature rating decides whether boards can stay in it through the bake.
RoHS (EU) 2015/863: The EU restriction on hazardous substances in electrical equipment: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE and four phthalates. This product is RoHS compliant; the test report is available on request.

FAQ

Questions

Can metal carriers go straight into this magazine, does anything in the rack shed particles onto the assemblies, and what finish is on the aluminum?

Yes: metal carriers, pallets and fixtures are a routine load for the HT racks. Everything the load touches is aluminum with a clear anodized finish. The conductive PPE panels of the standard gear-track racks are gone from the HT series, so there is no polymer in the load path and nothing that can shed onto an assembly. Anodized on anodized stays clean as well; the pairing that transfers material is anodized on bare metal, and there is no bare metal in the slots. The chassis is conductive, 10⁴ Ω surface resistance, so the carrier and the board on it are grounded through the rack.

What does “all-aluminum” actually change vs the standard 200 °C gear-track racks?

Standard gear-track racks (the GN/GM variants) use 5 × Conductive PPE side-panel sections per wall. PPE softens above ~200 °C and starts off-gassing in cure ovens. The HT series swaps every PPE panel for an aluminum panel, same five interchangeable slots per wall, same gear-track mechanism, no polymer in the thermal path. The chassis is heavier (8 kg vs 6.3 kg empty) and the rack stays dimensionally stable through 300 °C cycles.

Why is the slot 7.5 mm (0.295″) wide instead of 5 mm (0.197″)?

Boards that have just come out of reflow or post-cure are often slightly thicker, warped, or populated with tall components on the bottom side. The 5 mm (0.197″) gear-track slot is fine for raw bare boards, but a 1.6 mm (0.063″) board with 2 mm (0.079″) of solder paste + 1 mm (0.039″) of warp + a populated underside can exceed 5 mm (0.197″). The 7.5 mm (0.295″) HT slot accommodates these without forcing operators to angle boards in or rework the slot. You can still load thinner boards in the wider slot, they just sit with more clearance.

Can I really load boards directly from a lead-free reflow oven?

Yes. The 300 °C ceiling clears typical SAC305 lead-free reflow profiles (peak ~245–260 °C) with significant headroom. The all-aluminum side panels won’t soften, warp, or contaminate the reflow atmosphere. Aerospace cure cycles, conformal-coat post-cure (150–200 °C), and full IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 bake (including 125 °C accelerated) are all well within the rack’s thermal envelope.

Will the B0103GL HT-300C drop into my SMT loader / unloader?

Yes. The 563 mm (22.17″) chassis height and 10 mm (0.394″) slot pitch match the standard interface for ASM SIPLACE, Yamaha YSM, Panasonic NPM, Juki RS, and most other in-line SMT loader / unloader equipment. The 355 × 320 mm (13.98″ × 12.60″) footprint is identical to the B0103GN-80C / GM-200C / GC BELT-80C variants. Note the unique reference offsets A=34, B=33 on this HT variant (vs A=34, B=34 on GN/GM/GC), ask sales for a fit-check on your specific line if your fixture relies on B-offset positioning.

Do I need 300 °C if my bake only runs at 125 °C?

Probably not. For 125 °C accelerated bake or anything below 200 °C, the metal-base B0103GM-200C (200 °C) is a lower-cost option on the same chassis, with the same conductive 10⁴ Ω build. Pick the GL HT-300C when the process actually needs 200–300 °C (lead-free reflow direct loading, conformal-coat post-cure 150–200 °C, aerospace cure, or thermal stress testing).

What ships in the box?

One B0103GL HT-300C magazine rack, sold individually. Includes stopper bar and carrying handles (top and bottom). Packaging size 570 × 370 × 100 mm (22.44″ × 14.57″ × 3.94″) at 8 kg gross. Stocked at the US warehouse; in-stock orders ship in under 24 hours. Ships flat and goes together with the supplied screws.

How much weight can a loaded rack carry?

The load capacity (weight limit) is up to 85 kg (187 lb), spread evenly across the slots. As a check, 50 carrier plates at 1 kg each come to 50 kg, comfortably inside that. The figure is the whole load in the rack, not per slot.

Can I run anodized aluminum carriers or fixtures in this rack?

Yes, and this is the rack for it. There is no polymer in the load path: every side panel is aluminum, clear anodized. An anodized carrier then rides on an anodized panel, hard oxide against hard oxide, instead of anodized against bare metal, which is the pairing that transfers material. Surface resistance stays conductive, 10⁴ Ω.

Is there a 3D model or STEP file for this rack?

Yes, on request. Dimensional drawings and CAD are not posted on the site, so ask through the documentation request page and the team sends the STEP model for this chassis.

Can you ship to our contract manufacturer or an overseas partner?

Yes. Racks ship FOB origin from the US, and we drop ship to a contract manufacturer, a loader vendor, or your own site abroad. Send the delivery address with the order, and if you have a carrier account we book the shipment on it. One order can go to more than one address.
