The Hakko FX-951 soldering iron is specifically designed for lead (Pb)-free applications. It is applicable for eutectic solder as well as Pb-free solder. The composite tip (the soldering tip, the heating element and the sensor are in one assembly) has superior thermal recovery and reliable temperature accuracy.
Designed for cell style production, the FX-951 soldering iron has a space-saving vertical design, and the iron holder can be adjusted to an easy-to-use angle for work in both standing and sitting positions. The shorter handle-to-tip distance makes critical soldering work easier. There is a large variation in standard tips available and these include such types as long life, high thermal capacity, and tips for IC rework, making the soldering iron ideal for various applications.
The FX-951 features selectable sleep and automatic shutoff functions. The sleep function lowers the tip temperature to 200°C to prevent oxidation of the tip when its temperature remains unchanged for a certain period of the time (10 minutes or more). The automatic shutoff function automatically turns off the soldering iron for energy-saving and safety reasons after a certain period of the time has elapsed (30 minutes or more).
The Hakko FX-951 consumes 75 W (24 V pen) and can deliver a temperature range from 200 to 450°C. It weighs 1,2 kg and measures 80 x 130 x 131 mm.

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
