    Hakko FX-888 Replacement tips Canada

    I have the Hakko FX-888 soldering station which works fantastic. I'm just wondering where to or order replacements tips from in Canada or who will ship to Canada cheaply. The Hakko website shipping is ridiculous when shipping to Canada. I've heard eBay is full of fakes.

    Also just to verify I require the T18 tips correct?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

      I believe Active Electronics, if you have one, carries them (last time I checked). They aren't cheap (around $10.99 CDN each), but you can be mostly assured they are 100% Hakko genuine.

      They may also carry Hakko equivalent tips which are cheaper?

      I have purchased "Hakko" tips from ebay and they are likely 100% fake, but they do work. The average tip on ebay is around $2 + free shipping.

      T18 comes in different variations as per

      I recommend the chisel (D series).

          Thanks for the help! That raises another question. I mostly just use it for replacing capacitors on computer equipment. Is there a certain tip that works best? I've been using the B shape one and it seems to work fairly well.

              I like the chisel 1.8 or 2.4mm tip. 3.2mm might be required for desoldering things that have a big copper plane.

                  I like the 3.2 mm chisel tip (T18-D32) for recapping. The heat capacity makes a difference to me, especially on motherboards. YMMV.

                  I usually use B&D Enterprises (authorized Hakko distributor and sell on ebay as www*bdent*com). I don't know how much it costs to ship to Canada, though. For single items I generally find buying from them on ebay to be cheaper overall than paying for the item and shipping at their own site.

                      Today, I had to do some repairs and I switched to the 3.2mm chisel tip for desoldering old caps off a PC multilayer motherboard. Adding some fresh leaded solder and temperature set at 375C made it very easy to remove the old caps.

                      As I noted in the earlier post, my 3.2mm chisel tip is a sort by lowest price + free shipping ebay highly likely fake tip, but it worked fine today.

                          Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
                          by the_rem
                          Hello guys,

                          I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

                          I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

                          PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
                          by ezenia
                          Hello,

                          Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                          So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                          I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

                          klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
                          by r2digital
                          I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...
