Hakko FR810B-05 FR-810B ESD-Safe SMD Hot Air Rework Station
Hakko FR810B-05 FR-810B ESD-Safe SMD Hot Air Rework Station
The Hakko FR810B-05 FR-810B combines controlled hot air and integrated vacuum pickup for removing surface-mount components from printed circuit boards. Its self-contained turbine supplies adjustable airflow, while five programmable presets help technicians repeat temperature, airflow and time settings across similar rework tasks.
Important: Hot air nozzles are not included and must be purchased separately. Select a compatible nozzle for the component and application before use.
Key Features
- Integrated vacuum pickup: a visual indicator in the handpiece helps the operator see when a component has lifted after solder reflow, reducing the need to pull on unreflowed joints.
- Adjustable heat and airflow: 50–600°C temperature range and 5–115 L/min turbine airflow support a range of SMD removal tasks.
- Five programmable presets: store temperature, airflow and time settings for repeat work.
- Preset Chain: link up to five presets into a sequential heating process.
- Handpiece Start/Stop control: operate the heating cycle from the slender handpiece.
- Digital display: view temperature and air-level settings.
- Password lockout and auto power-off: help manage setup access and station operation.
- ESD-safe design: suitable for use within an appropriately controlled electronics rework workstation.
Best Uses / Applications
Use the FR-810B for SMD component removal, PCB repair, prototype changes and electronics manufacturing rework. It is a practical choice for repair technicians, production rework teams and engineering labs that need repeatable hot-air settings with vacuum-assisted component lifting. Establish a process appropriate to the board, component, solder alloy and nozzle; the station's set temperature is not a measurement of solder-joint temperature.

Choosing a Rework Tool
| Tool approach | How it works | Selection consideration |
|---|---|---|
| FR-810B hot air with vacuum pickup | Heats the component area with controlled airflow and assists lifting after reflow | Useful for surface-mount removal requiring coordinated heating and pickup |
| Contact soldering iron | Transfers heat through a tip contacting an individual joint | Useful for accessible joints; not a substitute for area heating on every package |
| Contact desoldering tool | Combines heated contact and solder suction | Often used for solder extraction from through-hole connections; select equipment for the actual joint geometry |
Setup and Nozzle Selection
Choose a compatible nozzle suited to the package size and nearby components. The FR-810B supports N51 quick-change nozzles and compatible earlier Hakko hot air nozzles. Confirm the specific nozzle's fit and vacuum-pickup suitability before ordering. Do not force a component off the board before its solder joints have reflowed. Follow Hakko's operating instructions and use appropriate fume extraction and heat protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are nozzles included with FR810B-05?
No. Hot air nozzles are sold separately. Choose a compatible nozzle for your component and process.
What does the integrated vacuum pickup do?
It assists in lifting a surface-mount component after the solder has melted. The handpiece's visual indicator helps show that the component has lifted; it does not replace a validated rework process.
Does this station need a separate compressed-air supply?
The hot-air supply is provided by a self-contained turbine, so a separate compressed-air source is not required for that function.
Can I save settings for repeat jobs?
Yes. The FR-810B stores up to five presets for temperature, airflow and time.
What is Preset Chain?
It allows up to five presets to run in sequence, supporting a staged heating process rather than a single fixed setting.
What temperature range does it offer?
The specified range is 50–600°C (120–1120°F). Select settings for the board and component rather than using the highest setting by default.
Is the FR-810B ESD safe?
Yes, it is ESD safe by design. Maintain the rest of the workstation's grounding and handling controls as part of your ESD program.
Is the vacuum pickup a through-hole solder-extraction gun?
No. The pickup assists component lifting during hot-air rework; it should not be confused with a contact desoldering gun that draws molten solder out of a joint.
