Xytronic LF-8800 Solder and Desolder Station

A combined soldering and desoldering station specially designed for lead-free soldering/desoldering to meet RoHS requirements.

The station has a built-in vacuum pump and incorporates electronic circuitry which enables the user to set the soldering tip temperature between 150°C (302°F) and 480°C (896°F) and desoldering tip temperature between 300°C (572°F) and 450°C (842°F) without changing tips or heating elements.

Temperature is maintained within ±3°C (±6°F) of its operating temperature by a thermocouple sensor in the iron. Optional accessories are available separately, including an 80W hot air pencil and an SMD rework tweezer for surface mounting devices.

• Heater and sensor fail detection and automatic power off
• Temperature 'lock-out' feature with password
• ESD safe and spike-free circuitry
• 'Zero voltage' electronic switching design protects sensitive components
• Delayed suction helps eliminate the problem of solder clogging up the tip - pump continues sucking for 1.5 seconds after the actuator switch is released
• Energy saver mode: After 20 minutes of inactivity, the temperature reduces to 150°C, after 40 minutes the power switches to 'sleep mode' which cuts power consumption and extends tip life
• Iron working option: both soldering and desoldering irons can be used at the same time
• Supplied complete with soldering and desoldering irons and stands
• Optional SMD tweezers for SMD chips, SOT, flat pack ICs etc.
• Optional hot air pencil
• A wide range of suitable soldering tips are available separately
• Replacement soldering irons are available separately
• Xytronic types LF-8800 (station), 307A (iron), DIA100 (desoldering iron)
