The Blackjack SolderWerks BK 3080LF through-hole desoldering station is an ultra-compact unit with reciprocating piston style pump – providing super strong 80 kPa vacuum suction. Suitable for single-layer and multi-layer PCB reworking, it provides professional results at an affordable price.
It is a thermostatically-controlled desoldering station that features a new style pump, which makes the removal of molten solder even easier than before. The powerful 70 W heat delivery system allows you to desolder at lower temperatures, which means less time on the board and less potential for component or board damage. The new reciprocating piston pump delivers up to four times the suction of standard desoldering units, meaning that you get a cleaner finish, more often.
The unit also features two ‘quickset’ temperature options that can be set by the user. This allows the user, if desired, to store their favourite settings and access them at the press of a button. Pushing the SET button gives access to the two user-definable pre-sets.
