Hakko T18-D16 Soldering Tip

This Hakko T18-D16 Soldering Tip is a chisel-type with a tip width of 1.6 mm and length of 14.5 mm. T18 tips can be used with several Hakko soldering stations and systems, including the FX-888D Digital Soldering Station and the Atten 937 Soldering Station.

Chisel tips are good for general-purpose work and have a tapered edge that can fit between most components, allowing them to be used for a variety of soldering jobs. The flat tip on the chisel helps facilitate heat transfer by allowing a larger area of the iron to be in contact pins and pads.

Since the soldering iron tip can easily be swapped, it is useful to keep a variety of tips on hand and use the best tip for the job; it is also useful to have extras on hand as replacements.
