At Midwest Tech, we’re excited to introduce the latest innovation from Hakko — the FR-850 Micro Hot Air Rework Station. Engineered for today’s demanding electronics applications, the FR-850 is compact, powerful, and purpose-built for ultra-precise SMD rework, making it the perfect upgrade for any professional technician or advanced assembly line.

What is the Hakko FR-850?

The Hakko FR-850 Micro Hot Air Station is a next-gen, hot-air rework tool specifically designed for fine-pitch components and miniature devices — including 01005 chip components and micro BGAs. It provides tight thermal control, high airflow accuracy, and a compact nozzle design, all packed into a space-saving footprint.

Whether you're repairing smartphone boards, working with medical or aerospace PCBs, or focused on high-density SMT work, the FR-850 delivers reliable results with zero guesswork.

Key Features & Benefits

Ultra-Fine Nozzle Compatibility

Designed to work with a range of micro nozzles for pinpoint heat delivery, ideal for high-density boards and sensitive rework zones.

Closed-Loop Temperature Control

Maintains accurate and stable hot air temperatures from 100°C to 500°C, ensuring consistent solder reflow and minimal thermal shock.

Compact & Lightweight

Its ergonomic, pencil-style handpiece reduces operator fatigue and provides precision handling — crucial for micro SMD rework.

Touch-Sensitive Sleep Function

Preserve tip life and reduce power consumption with automatic standby mode when not in use.

Digital Interface & Presets

Save up to 5 user-defined temperature/airflow presets for quick, repeatable operation — a huge time-saver in high-mix environments.

Ideal Applications

  • Medical device repair
  • Aerospace and defense rework
  • Smartphone and wearable PCB work
  • Ultra-miniature BGA reflow
  • Fine-pitch SMD soldering/rework

Why Choose the FR-850 Over Other Hot Air Tools?

Unlike standard hot air tools, the FR-850 is built for precision, not just heat. While competitors focus on power, Hakko focuses on control — giving you surgical-level rework capability where it matters most.

Plus, the FR-850 is part of Hakko’s proven ecosystem — which means easy nozzle replacement, trusted service, and long-lasting performance.
