The Hakko FX-951 will surely turn heads when seen on your workbench. Its compact, sexy design brings a new meaning to word, soldering.

The Hakko FX-951 is a compact yet high performance soldering station. Even when soldering lead-free solders the high performance allows lower operating temperatures. The station features a programmable sleep mode of 0-29 minutes or auto-power shut off at 30 minutes. The sleep mode reduces the tip temperature to approximately 200ºC (400ºF) after the programmed time (0-29 minutes). The lower tip temperature will reduce oxidation of the tip and improve the tip performance. When in sleep mode the tip will quickly return to temperature after the iron is removed from the holder.

The station uses the T15 series composite tip. The composite tip is a soldering tip in which a heating element and sensor are integrated with ceramic. Despite its highly compact design, the tip offers superior thermal response and greatly improved thermal recovery. T15 series tips are available in a wide variety of tip shapes and can also be used with the Hakko FM- 203, FP-102 and FM-202 soldering stations. Any tip can be operated at temperatures 200 - 450ºC (400 - 840ºF).

The station includes a card lock system to lock the preset soldering temperature. With the card removed operators can not adjust the working temperature.
