Hakko 808 Tips
Locked
 
|
I'm ready to pick up the phone to order both a soldering station and
the 808 de-soldering tool, but I'm stuck where I was the last time I was ready to do this -- I don't know what tips to order for the 808! There are some excellent notes on the website re the 936, so it looks like I want to buy a 1.2D, 2.4D, 3.2D, and S3. Right? Do I need a stand for the 808? BTW -- kiesub seems to have the best price on all of this stuff -- at least 10% below test equipment.net.

You mean tips for the 936? The 808 I have is a one size fits all and
it is strictly for plate through holes unless great care is taken. For SMD I would use solder wick and/or a cutting tool! Those are both great tools. At the same time get some tiny solder. I use 0.015 and 0.020 for kit building. With 0.015 it is pretty hard to flow too much solder unless you are really trying.

Ooops. I just saw that you CAN buy different nozzles. Since the
default one has always worked for me, I didn't even know there were alternatives. Maybe someone can illuminate us both?

I think NØSS did a nice job writing up Hakko 808 info.

I just sent the following to Jim. For what it might be worth to anyone else.
73, Tom N0SS For the Hakko 808 Desoldering gun, consider also ordering a couple additional nozzles: A1394 This is a long (0.434"), slender (0.090") nozzle which will allow you to get into places the fatter tips won't. It is particularly handy when you are working on PC boards which are pretty tightly packed AND which have some of their components mounted on the bottom of the PC board with the soldered pads in and among the tightly packed components on the top side. Because it is long and slender, this is a 'delicate' nozzle, and probably NOT one you would want to leave on the desoldering tool when you do not need to use it. A1396 This is a short/fat nozzle, similar to the nozzle provided with the Hakko 808 when it is originally purchased. However, this nozzle has a 0.091" inside diameter, so it will suffice for removing most, if not all, of the connectors used on most PC boards. Some of these connectors use flat lug-type leads, instead of wire leads, which can be particularly difficult to remove if you find you must remove the connector itself. Of course, it also works well on the larger diameter leads of big diodes, etc. At 02:17 PM 2/21/05, Robert McGwier wrote: >Ooops. I just saw that you CAN buy different nozzles.

This group is terrific. I have been using my Hakko and too dumb to
consider alternative tips, even when it was clear they would be very handy to have. I have ordered my four favorites from Kiesub. Thanks to all!
