The Miniware MHP30 is a pocket-sized smart hot plate preheater designed for SMD preheating and desoldering. Standing just 5.2 cm tall with a 30 × 30 mm heating area, it condenses the functionality of a desktop heating station into a compact, portable form factor powered by USB-C PD.
The separable controller and hot plate design allows flexible replacement of the heating element. The brass hot plate features a nano-ceramic coating for even heat distribution, while the built-in colour-changing LED gives instant visual feedback on temperature status. Smart features include preset temperatures, tilt protection, auto-sleep, and upgradeable firmware.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
