Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – HAKKO FR410-82:

1. What is the HAKKO FR410-82 Desoldering Station?

The FR410-82 is an integrated desoldering tool combining a composite-ceramic heating core and a built-in vacuum pump, designed for rapid removal of solder from multi-layer printed circuit boards and fine-pitch SMD components.

2. How does the built-in vacuum pump operate?

It uses a double-diaphragm pump to generate up to 80 kPa (600 mmHg) of negative pressure and a flow rate of approximately 15 L/min, drawing molten solder into a filter assembly immediately after triggering.

3. What temperature range and stability does it offer?

You can set the soldering tip between 330 °C and 450 °C, with an idle-state accuracy of ±5 °C, ensuring precise heat control for delicate components.

4. What is the Anti-Clogging Function (ACF) and why is it important?

ACF keeps the pump running for 1–5 seconds after you release the trigger. This additional suction pulls residual solder flush into the filter, significantly reducing nozzle blockages and maintenance downtime.

5. How do I change or maintain the desoldering nozzles?

Nozzles are replaced in seconds using the supplied wrench or an optional quick-changer tool. Regularly clean the nozzle and heater core with the provided cleaning pin to prevent solder buildup.

6. When and how should filters be replaced?

The FR410-82 uses a two-stage filtration system: a porous foam filter followed by a ceramic paper filter. Replace the foam when it darkens or you notice reduced suction, and swap the paper filter whenever the foam layer is renewed.

7. What safety precautions should I follow?

Always use the grounded 2-pole plug and keep your hands dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation, as desoldering emits solder fumes.

Do not immerse the unit in liquid or operate it in damp conditions.

Allow the tool to cool before replacing nozzles or filters.

8. What accessories are included in the standard package?

FR410-82 main unit with built-in pump

FR-4103 desoldering handpiece (composite-ceramic heater)

Iron holder with cleaning sponge

Tool box containing wrench and cleaning pin (Ø 1.0 mm)

Two foam filters and four ceramic paper filters

One N61-05 standard nozzle

9. What are the power requirements and consumption?

The station runs on AC 100 V, 50/60 Hz with a grounded 2-pole plug and draws up to 190 W during operation.

10. How portable is the FR410-82?

Measuring 165 × 244 × 137 mm and weighing 4.8 kg, it’s compact enough for bench-top or field service use, yet robust for continuous professional operation.

11. What warranty and support options are available?

HAKKO offers a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Please contact QTE Technologies.

12. Which nozzles or accessories should I consider for specialized tasks?

N61-02 (Ø 0.8 mm) for ultra-small pads and micro-lands

N61-08 angled nozzles for hard-to-reach areas

Spare composite-ceramic heater cores for minimal downtime
