Hakko FX888D-23BY Digital Soldering Station FX-888D FX-888 (blue & yellow)

Product Information

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. There are only two buttons on the FX888D - UP and ENTER. Thats all that is required to set-up and operate this easy to use system. With a clear user interface, setting-up and using this soldering iron is fast and simple. This unit also comes with a convenient Soldering Iron Holder. This type has a thin conical end and is an ultrafine tip which is best suited for soldering at narrow pitches, etc. The offset function stores the current tip temperature in the station. By inputting the correct offset value, you can change the “tip temperature” to match the “set temperature”, giving you an accurate reading [7]. What soldering iron do professionals use? The width (size of tip) suitable for the workpiece can be selected, and it can be used for any soldering work.

In testing, both brands had similar results when dropped or bumped against a hard surface. However, the Hakko showed significantly less wear over time due to its high-quality materials and superior manufacturing process. In addition, its ESD (electrostatic discharge) safety feature helps protect sensitive components from damage. Overall, the Hakko has proven to be more durable than the Weller. Stand The Hakko FX-888D is a popular and sophisticated soldering station that anyone can use, from professionals to amateurs. Appliance Spare Parts - AEG, CHEF, Dishlex, Electrolux, Kelvinator, Panasonic, Sharp, Simpson & Westinghouse This type has a shape like a cone or a column cut at a slant, which allows users to select the cut surface size depending on the workpiece.

Heater output has been increased by 30% compared to that of the conventional models HAKKO 936/937. Also FX-888D delivers excellent thermal recovery by using T18 series tips for their terrific heat conductivity. 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. Also, this model is supplied with a cleaning sponge. The only missing thing is spare tips of various sizes. Does it operate at 230V/50Hz? However, the Hakko FX-888D offers more precise temperature control with its PID technology, allowing for a stable temperature during extended periods of use. It also has a wider temperature range (200-480°C) compared to the WE1010 (200-450°C). The Hakko FX-888D is manufactured in Japan. It is known for its precision and durability [6]. Are Weller and Hakko tips interchangeable? If you are looking for the best alternative tip options for the FX-888D station beside the genuine tip, consider using bevel and chisel models.

The HAKKO FX-888D is a reliable general purpose soldering station suitable for most SMD and T/Hole applications. It is the updated digital version of the popular FX-888 and includes several new features. User selectable pre-set temperatures along with a simple calibration procedure for accurate tip temperature measurement. A low temperature alarm provides process control and helps protect against cold solder joints. The new Digital version has a display in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade (customer adjustable), so you can set the temperature as well as see the current tip temp. The Weller WE 1010 is one of the best soldering stations on the market. Probably because it’s a quality soldering station that’s incredibly safe and easy to use. The first thing you’ll notice about the WE 1010 station is its clean and simple design. The base unit has a sleek LCD screen and three primary buttons to run all the features. You may appreciate the large and easily visible on/off switch. It’s just as easy to set the soldering temperature [2].Anyone even remotely tech savvy or under a certain age will be totally fine with this, the only way the interface is an issue is if you are constantly changing temps, and even then it depends on the temps you are using and how many different temps since you can set custom presets to switch between. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Not only does the Hakko reach optimum temperature 30% faster than other brands, but in testing, it also showed less of a temperature drop after soldering or cleaning the tip. Additionally, Hakko had a faster recovery time than its competitors. Although Weller’s performance is good, Hakko simply outperforms it in every way [4]. Controls and Ease of Use Saw some people don't like the separate iron stand, but personally that is the best for me. The station and stand can sit in the corner under my monitor at all times and I can just pull out the stand when I need to solder and I don't have to worry about any heat affecting my monitor. And the stand itself is all metal and feels quality. Time will tell with the sponge, saw some people not liking it, but haven't run into anything myself as of yet.
