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

Product Information

The Hakko FX888D Soldering Station is the upgrade to the original FX888. With an easy to read digital display, Hakkos latest model combines reliability, excellent thermal recovery, a range of tips and spares and is very easy to use. As a genuine all-round soldering station, the Hakko FX888D offers a number of features that make it suitable for hobbyists or electronics professionals. The voltage for the device is 120 Volts with 70 Watts and a temperature range (adjusted) of 120°F-899°F. When idle, the temperature will stay within 1 .8°F, making it one of the safest devices on the market. 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. This type has a shape like a flat-blade screwdriver and is capable of soldering by applying the tip in 2 ways: line and face.

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.When it comes to power, the Hakko FX-888D offers a 30-watt option while the Weller WE1010 offers a maximum of 40 watts. While some may argue that the additional 10 watts might make a difference in terms of soldering speed and effectiveness, others argue that for most hobbyist or small business needs, the 30-watt option is more than enough [8]. Is flux necessary for soldering?

The Hakko FX888D has an increased heater output of 30% compared to the Hakko 936 & 937 models. It also offers outstanding thermal recovery by using T18 tips, allowing soldering to be done at a lower temperature and in-turn reduces the thermal impact of components and extends tip life.

Only 4 stars because there’s always room for improvement. And the crazy and incomplete instructions. Read full review Let’s get into the tech specs right now. 65 watts of power. Best out there for a unit of this size. 65 watts of power will give you great flexibility as far as leaded or lead-free soldering applications. The predecessors of the Hakko, by the way, was 42 watts of power, the old 936. This unit weighs 2.6 pounds, rather robust and has a ceramic heating element. That’s one of the things that aids in its thermal recovery, as well as a closed loop sensor for accuracy. And it is accurate from 120 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 899 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s accurate plus or minus a hair under 2 degrees Fahrenheit. The Hakko FX888D is perfect when space is limited. With a footprint of only 10cm x 12cm, it provides a powerful soldering solution without taking up valuable space. The rubber feet of the control unit are also positioned at the very outer edges of each corner, giving the unit incredible stability.HAKKO FX888D Silver Digital Soldering Station – performance comparison graph with conventional stations Able to shorten the time required for the same work and improve work efficiency significantly.
