Soldering Station Tips

Hakko T18 slip-on tips

Choose the working end for an FX-8801 pencil or another handpiece documented for T18. A chisel gives you a flat edge, while the long BL and bent BR02 solve different clearance problems.

What to check before buying

Start with the handle

Read the model on the pencil. An FX-8801 uses T18. If your paperwork shows a legacy 900M part, look up the exact cross-reference before assuming every T18 shape is a replacement.

Choose width and reach separately

D08 and D12 leave room next to small pads. D24 and D32 give more flat contact on wider terminals. For a recessed point, the BL taper adds reach. If the handle needs to approach from the side, the BR02 bends the working point.

Questions about this tip family

Which chisel is between the D08 and D24?

D12 and D16 fill that gap. Look at face thickness too. The D16 drawing gives a thinner edge than D12 even though D16 is wider.

Do the bevel suffixes change where solder wets?

CF15, CF2 and CSF25 are documented with tinning on the working face. Check the exact drawing before selecting a visually similar bevel.
