The FM-203 soldering station from Hakko is a professional station with an output of 140 W that has two connections for soldering irons. The composite element and sensor together ensure rapid heating and thermal recovery. The temperature can easily be set with buttons between 200 and 450 ℃. Furthermore, the station uses a card that acts as a key, as it were. When this card is inserted it is possible to change the temperature settings and when the card is removed the temperature settings are locked. This makes the station ideal for places where unauthorized persons could set it to an unwanted temperature. Besides that, the FM-203 has an automatic standby function, which extends the lifetime of a tip drastically.
The FM-203 is supplied as only the main unit, without any accessories or control card (no temperature settings). The main unit can be used with different soldering irons. No soldering iron is supplied as standard, these should be ordered separately. At the bottom of the page, we have an overview with the available soldering irons.
