The Metcal MX-500P-11 is a dual-port, switchable RF power supply engineered for Metcal MX Series soldering and rework systems. It delivers 40 W maximum output at 13.56 MHz to self-regulating induction heater cartridges, eliminating the need for external temperature adjustments. The supply incorporates an integrated power indication meter, user-programmable PowerSave Mode (10–120 minutes), and Ground Fault Interrupt protection. Automatic line voltage sensing accommodates worldwide operation from 100–130 VAC input without adaptors. Tip-to-ground potential remains below 2 mV with tip-to-ground resistance under 2 Ohms, ensuring safe, reliable operation across all MX Series hand-pieces and tip cartridges.
