Description
Hughes Aircraft HTT-600 Solderite Reflow Solder Power Supply 115V 8A 0-750°C
The Hughes Aircraft HTT-600 is a benchtop reflow solder power supply built under the Hughes Aircraft Company Industrial Products Division, Industrial Electronics Group, in Carlsbad, California. It is designed to drive and precisely control a soldering or bonding process, providing adjustable heating rate and programmable bond duration for reflow soldering operations. The front panel features a large analog temperature meter graduated 0–750°C, coarse and fine heating rate controls, a bond duration digital display with timer, and separate run/set control knobs for Temperature, Idle, Bond, and Cool stages.

Applications
The Hughes HTT-600 Solderite is a specialized reflow soldering controller from the 1970s–1980s era of precision industrial electronics assembly. Reflow solder power supplies of this type were used in electronics manufacturing environments where controlled, repeatable solder bonds were required — particularly in aerospace, defense, and precision instrumentation production. The Solderite system controls the full thermal cycle of a solder bond: heating rate, bonding temperature, dwell time, and cooling — allowing operators to dial in a repeatable profile for each joint type. Hughes Aircraft's Industrial Products Division produced this equipment for use in their own aerospace manufacturing as well as for sale to other electronics manufacturers and defense contractors. Collectors and engineers working with vintage or period-correct assembly equipment, as well as those maintaining older soldering systems or researching Hughes industrial tooling, seek out units like this today.
This Hughes Aircraft HTT-600 Solderite Reflow Solder Power Supply has been inspected and is in good cosmetic condition overall. The unit powers on and the front panel illuminates, but it has not been tested further beyond that. The blue metal enclosure shows light surface wear consistent with age and prior bench use. The front panel controls, analog temperature meter, bond duration display, and indicator lights are all visually intact. The rear cooling fan and ventilation are present and unobstructed.
