Introducing the New Hakko FX-888DX: A Leap Forward in Soldering Excellence

At RMS Components, we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of the latest innovation from Hakko, the FX-888DX soldering station. As the authorized Australian distributor of Hakko products, we pride ourselves on offering top-tier tools to our customers, and the FX-888DX is no exception. This new model builds upon the legacy of the popular FX-888D, incorporating significant upgrades that enhance user experience and performance. Let’s dive into what makes the Hakko FX-888DX the new gold standard in soldering.

Evolution of the Hakko FX-888D to FX-888DX

The Hakko FX-888D has long been a favorite among professionals and hobbyists alike. Known for its reliability, ease of use, and consistent performance, the FX-888D set the benchmark in the world of soldering stations. However, technology evolves, and Hakko has responded by introducing the FX-888DX, which not only retains the strengths of its predecessor but also brings several improvements to the table.

Key Differences Between the FX-888D and FX-888DX
  1. Power Boost:
    • FX-888D: 70W
    • FX-888DX: 100W
    • Benefit: The increased power means faster heat-up times and the ability to handle more demanding soldering tasks with ease. Whether you’re working on intricate electronics or more heavy-duty projects, the FX-888DX is up to the challenge.
  2. User Interface:
    • FX-888D: Two-button control
    • FX-888DX: Rotary encoder
    • Benefit: The rotary encoder simplifies operation, reducing the chances of errors during temperature adjustment. This makes the FX-888DX more user-friendly, especially for those who need to change settings frequently.
  3. Temperature Control and Stability:
    • FX-888D: ±1℃ stability (at idle, when set between 200 to 480℃)
    • FX-888DX: Maintains the same stability but with enhanced control due to the upgraded power and interface.
    • Benefit: Consistent temperature is critical in soldering, and the FX-888DX ensures that your solder joints are precise and reliable every time.
  4. Design and Color Options:
    • FX-888D: Limited color options
    • FX-888DX: Available in Blue/Yellow, Yellow, and Silver
    • Benefit: The new color options not only add a touch of personal style to your workspace but also allow for better color coding in educational or professional environments.
  5. Compatibility:
    • FX-888DX: Supports the new 90W soldering iron option and various other compatible irons (FX-8801, FX-8802, FX-8803, FX-8804, FX-8805, FX-8806).
