HAKKO FX-888D Professional Soldering Station & Soldering Iron + Tip Set Soldering Kit 70W - 50°C to 480°C UK Plug – for Electronics, Stained Glass & Other Soldering, rework and desoldering

Product Information

Knife Shape for line, face and point soldering. It is used for soldering at narrow pitches, correction of bridging and drag soldering. With only two operation buttons of UP and ENTER in the center, operation is simple and easy. Even if you’re not familiar with operation of machines, you can operate it without difficulty. Lead-based solder is the oldest type still used. It’s mixed with tin in different amounts to produce different types of bonds. It has a low melting point and is easy to work with. Lead, however, can be dangerous to work with.

This type has a shape like a cone or column cut at a slant, which allows users to select the cut surface size depending on the workpiece. Temperature adjustment* is an essential part of any strict quality control system. With adjustment mode, what used to be a troublesome procedure is now as simple as entering the measured tip temperature to HAKKO FX888D. This allows soldering at a lower set temperature and reducing the thermal impact on components as well as tip oxidation that can shorten tip life. Some of the more versatile soldering stations come with hot air guns attached. They’re a brilliant bit of kit to have on hand if you’re working with electronics or other crafting jobs. They use an internal fan and a heating element to fire a blast of air with pinpoint accuracy.

The HAKKO FX888D-17BY Digital Soldering Stations heater output has been increased by 30% compared to that of the conventional HAKKO 936 and 937 models . Also the HAKKO FX888D delivers excellent thermal recovery by using T18 series soldering tips for their terrific heat conductivity. T15 tips are used with the FM2027 and FM2028 Soldering irons used with stations FX951, FX952, FM203, FM204 and FM206. The T15 Series includes almost 100 varieties of tip shape and size covering any soldering or rework application. They are organised into groups by “shape”: Soldering is the process of joining or taking apart things that are held together with solder. Solder is a metal alloy used mainly in electronics. It can also be found in crafts as diverse as stained glass window and jewellery making. If you want to work well with solder, then you need the best soldering station. Solder

An iron holder of the same color of a soldering station comes as a set. The highly functional iron holder not only improves ease of use, but also brings a sense of visual consistency to the work environment. With only two operation buttons of UP and ENTER in the centre, operation is simple and easy. Even if you’re not familiar with operation of machines, you can operate it without difficulty. The key element in soldering is the metal alloy that is liquified by the soldering iron. This liquid metal creates connections between components to allow electricity to flow. Like welding, solder is also used by plumbers to seal copper pipe connections. There are plenty of different types available, but here are the most common: This feature is very convenient when you want to change the set temperature to suit a particular workpiece, component, or tip shape. Simply select the desired temperature from a selection of preset temperatures registered in advance. (Up to 5 preset temperatures can be registered.) Preset mode can save your trouble and improve workability. Powerful thermal recovery allows soldering at lower temperature settings. Line-up includes 85 types of standard soldering tips. Thermal Recovery GraphRise time to 350°C is 20 seconds faster and tip temperature drop is reduced during continuous work. An iron holder of the same color as the soldering station comes as a set. The highly functional iron holder not only improves ease of use, but also brings a sense of visual consistency to the work environment. These Iron Holders are also available separately incase you require a replacement.
