RX-822AS - Temperature-controlled, lead-free,
dual-port soldering station
(Single Iron Stations RX-802AS and RX-852AS – Please see below)
2 soldering irons can be used
Can be prepared with 2 different tip types.Therefore, you can do different types of work [such as Micro soldering /High power work (150W)] at the same time.
The 2 soldering irons can be set to different temperatures.
The set temperature and condition can be checked easily with the separate temperature display.
Enables the reworking of chip parts.
It is possible to rework chip parts using 2 tips at the same time. Thus, occasional reworking may be performed without requiring other tools.
Advanced high functionality
Equipped with intelligent functions such as Sleep function, Sleep function release, Shutdown function and Key lock function by the accumulated technology in the RX-802AS.
Easy–to–use handpiece
Equipped with a favorable RX-80GAS/85GAS handpiece. Easy to replace tip without using tools even though a tip is hot. Lighter, reduced heat trasfer, flexible soldering unit cord, and a shorter distance from the handpiece to the tip. Good for more hours of work.
Wide variety of tips
More than 40 shapes of tip are available. You can choose the most suitable tip for your work.
How to Change the Soldering Unit Tip
To remove the soldering unit tip, slide the lever in the direction of the arrow. The tip will then protrude from the handpiece and can be removed easily by holding and pulling the plastic housing of the integrated tip/heater.

RX-EA1 Fume Extractor Attachment for RX-80GAS Iron
 |
RX-EA1 Fume extraction Attachment has been developed to remove toxic fume from tip area during soldering. The attachment consists of the extraction stainless steel tube, front modified ring and flexible tube with 5 holders to attach soldering wire cord. It takes only 2 minutes to attach RX-EA1 to the iron. The tube ID is 5 mm to make the extraction effective with common tip fume extraction units like XTRACTOR XF-10 or XF-VT2 High Vacuum Units. |
ST-40 Tip Cleaner
 |
The cleaner itself is made from low-abrasive brass shavings. No water is required to use the tip cleaner, although it cleans the tip better than conventional sponges and reduces the temperature-loss that occurs when using a wetted sponge. The container is made of heat-resistant and slip-proof silicon rubber that is safe for both the soldering iron and the user. |

Problems using Lead-free solder
Lead-free solder's melting point is 34 degrees higher than conventional solder.
Extra heat is required to bring lead-free solder to liquid phase.
Effect on soldering iron tips - shorter tip life.
Points to Note when using lead-free solder
Use of lowest possible temperatures to minimizing the tip damage
However, when using lower operating temperatures with lead-free solder which has a higher melting point, operational efficiency will decrease.
Keeping tip temperature stable during work to increase productivity and improve solder joint reliability
However, continuous use of a soldering iron over long periods brings the temperature of the tip down, and effects the quality of the finished solder joint.
Practical Points: Key elements for longer tip life
3.1 Tip temperature
Tips used at 320 degree-Celsius last three times longer than that of tips used at 380 degree-Celsius-tips.
3.2 Solder Type
For any normal solder joint, three times more Lead-free solder is required compared to eutectic solder - therefore choice and price of solder is important.
3.3 Amount of solder used in each solder joint
Cored thread solder wire has flux in the core of the solder wire. The types of flux used in current lead-free solders is especially ACTIVE in order to assist solder wettability.
Therefore, using MORE of a solder wire with MORE active flux, commensurately decreases tip life.
Merits of goot RX-802AS
- Superior heat recovery
Built-in high-powered heater (72W) capable of delivering enough power to maintain stable tip temperatures, even under different soldering work conditions. Minimal heat loss means the user doesn't have to set the station at a higher set temperature. Capable of being set at lower temperatures, therefore decreasing tip degeneration when soldering with high melting point lead-free solder. - Thick iron coating
All RX-80HRT tips have a thick iron coating. For example, the thickness of the B-type iron coating is 0.5 mm or above, while the thickness of tips in competitor irons are between 0.25mm and 0.3mm. More thickness assures longer tip life. The following test report backs up this fact.

Solder used : Senjyu M705 dia. 1.0
Amount of Solder used : 5mm of solder supplied per interval, 5 seconds intervals
- Fastest in its class
Reaches tip temperature in 6 seconds.
(Equivalent products amongst competitors take an average of 15 seconds) - Superior sleep function (Patented)
Automatic switch off when inactive for a preset period of time. This is easier on the tips than switching the unit OFF. This unit's sleep function can be programmed to activate at preferred inactive time periods, or can be programmed to go into sleep mode at a certain drop in tip temperature, therefore applicable to a variety of work conditions. (Competitor stations have one set mode only.) Further, before sleep mode activates, the sleep lamp flashes, warning the user that the the unit is about to enter sleep mode. - Light and compact handpiece
The soldering iron weighs 27g, the lightest in the 70W station class. (Competitor models weigh 30g.) The soldering unit cord is designed with a thin and very pliable cable with the diameter 4.0. (Competitor cable diameter - 4.6.)
RX-802AS Handpiece compared to competitors:
It is neglected point but, the biggest selling point of the RX-802AS is that the whole iron length of the handpiece is shorter than competitor irons. It is not enough that the distance between tip and handpiece be short. Pulling force from the cable is applied to the tip evertime the iron is moved. This has adverse effects for operation. Lessening this force is important. Shorter iron length makes this force smaller. - Easy-change tip
One-Step-Slide tip can be changed while the tips remain hot.
RX-802AS Replacement tips compared to competitors:
6.1. No tools needed for changing the tip, also no heat-resistance pads!
6.2. Tips can be stored in the RX-802AS soldering iron stand which comes with the unit. The user must purchase separately with some competitor stations
6.3. The tips are designed NOT to come in contact with the surface when placed on a workbench. - Extra standard tip included
Standard tip is included with this unit. This is not offered with competitor's stations.

RX-80HRT tips also usable
42 shapes of tip available, including the 26 optional tips for the RX-802AS.
High / Low Temperature Alarm
An alarm sounds (to alert the user) when the temperature goes outside (above or below) the maximum or minimum temperature settings. High/low setting range 3°C–100°C.
Intelligent Sleep Function (PAT.)
Automatically lowers the tip temperature when inactive for a preset period of time, preventing overheating. User definable preset time. (Can be used in conjunction with Shutdown function.)
Sleep Release Function (PAT.P)
Sleep mode can be exited (at any time) by bringing the tip into contact with the wet sponge to cause temperature fluctuation. (Effective when temperature is set above 100°C)
Shutdown function
The unit automatically shuts down when not used for a preset period of time. This means that the unit turns itself off, if you forget to!
Advanced Alarm Function (To prevent overheating)
Alarm sounds if the iron is left in contact with the component longer than the specified/set time. This prevents inexperienced operators from overheating the component, and in turn helping quality control.
Calibration Function (PAT.)
The calibration function digitally offsets the difference between the tip temperature and the temperature shown by a tip thermometer being used.
New ergonomic design soldering unit
New ergonomically designed soldering unit provides comfortable usability, easy handling and a shorter distance from grip to tip.
Reliable traceability
We can provide periodic calibration of the unit if required and issue certification necessary for various purposes.
