The Hakko FM-203 dual port soldering station brings more soldering functionality to the workbench while quickly delivering the heat needed to the soldering area. The FM-203 has many features and benefits that allow the operator to accurately and efficiently work on the particular task at hand. Process control allows the operator to select any temperature needed without changing the tip. A low temperature alarm sounds a warning telling the operator that the temperature is too low to obtain a good solder joint. The lock out key card prevents unauthorized or accidental temperature settings. The locking sleeve grip allows the operator to firmly grip the handpiece, promoting accuracy while working. The LED in the handpiece tells the operator the iron is hot. The auto shutoff and sleep mode functions help protect the tips from overheating causing oxidation.
