Adjustable temperature control with Temperature range 50°C to 480°C (120°F to 899°F), Digital display shows °F or °C, Maintains idle temperature within 1. Slightly modified the circuit, using only a 1 kΩ pull-up resistor on the NMOS NOR gate, and pulling it up to +5V instead of +3.

Before you seriously consider the Hakko FX-951 check what I wrote about the Pace station a few posts back. If the rule of thumb is "wait 3tau" wouldn't this mean the magnet is taking longer to discharge if the time we need to wait is 4. The performance of the tips are definitely the best part of the deal with Hakko, and the feel of the handle and cord are right up there as well. The compact Hakko FX-951 digital soldering station is a professional station with a power of 75 watt. And yeah, he has bragged about killing a tip a month, barely soldering anything at all compared to a production solderer.

Additionally, it will show some of the T15 Series tips, provide the various accessories and replacement parts available. I had the FX-888 about 7 years and after getting the T12 station, I "retired" it to my secondary soldering space. FX-888 is a high quality soldering station, don't get me wrong but compared to Weller, Metcal and FX-951, overall it is dissapointing for me.

Batter Fly has been present for years within the MePa, the electronic market of the public administration. I did have an original Japanese 936 for a lot of years, wonderful solder station, nothing to regret at this time.I used a station that took an actual 30 seconds to warm up (which I say because I actually timed it) - a cheap 45-50W Velleman re-badge. to avoid having to wire both voltages to the circuit — this is safe since the output is only used to drive the BJT transistors, not fed back to the 3.

When you do production soldering one or two (long and boring) days a week, you might spend a bit just to change things up! I don't even need a pack I guess, just a few extra types would be a good start for SMD and big chip stuff. It is nothing more than a piece of plastic to trigger an internal optical sensor, jwrelectro 3d-printed his own. I can't compare it to systems I haven't tried, but I have tried 'clone' tips and they just sucked compared to the OE Hakko.I'd get a decent soldering iron and spend the money you save on components and other test equipment. Hakko’s T15 Series tips for use with the FM-203, FM-204, FM-205, FM-206, and FX-951 stations -TIP,CHISEL - Note: T15-D16 is available in pure nickel construction as T15-1608 for soldering with specialize alloys. Forced myself to use T12, solely, for 2 months just to make sure I got used to it and didn't short change it.
