Yihua 936 heating element

[Clocky]

Anyone have a source for ceramic heating elements for this specific
soldering station iron that they know to work/fit correctly at a good price?

TIA

The irons they're pictured with online look identical to the replacement Hakko
907 iron I bought for ~$10 a while ago to replace the one on a DSE T-2000 where
the thermocouple has stopped working (all potted and unfixable, unfortunately).

Ah, according to this Ebay listing, they are the same:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151736583301

The specs on this iron are in a PDF somewhere, I have a print out in front of
me now, but not the bookmark to the download. I'll post that when I find the
computer that I bookmarked all that stuff on. It uses a PTC thermistor temp.
sensor (I need to modify the temp circuit in my old DSE station) spec'd at
43R - 58R at room temperature.

No part number in my PDF page for the heating element, but it has "Hakko 003"
printed on the side. It's possible they only make them 1:1 with their irons.

Thanks for that. Just to update, I ordered a whole (907A) handle
assembly for under $5 inc postage which looks identical to the one I
have. When it arrives I'll get the numbers off the element before I use
it for future reference or probably will just order another one as a spare.

That will probably see out the life of the station anyway. It works OK
but the quality isn't great.

Page 9 of this instruction manual:

Also the Hakko part number for the heating element may be
"A1321", this apparently uses the same iron:
http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_701_parts.html
Probably not worth the trouble to get one though, especially
compared to a new iron for $5.

There are downsides to living in NZ. I haven't been able to find a spare
(same iron) here for under $40 and can't find a source for reasonable tips
(other than genuine Hakko ones that cost more than I can afford).

When it arrives I'll get the numbers off the element before I
use it for future reference or probably will just order another one as a

My Yihua 853D+ station works quite well for the light duties I send its way.
However the cheapish tips I bought for it ($30 for six) don't last long at
all despite me excercising best practices, not using a wet sponge, leaving
the tip coated in fresh solder etc.

I bought tips for a few $ and they seem OK ex China (sorry, I don't have

Mine seem OK thus far and I paid about $7 for 5 tips from memory.

Thanks for that. It looks like the A1321 are the ones I need as the
dimensions match.

Good to have that info as there seems to be plenty available online at
reasonable cost.

The problem is that there isn't an ebay NZ. Because we already had a strong
auction site here that's been established for a decade and a half (TradeMe)
they never bothered trying to fight. Postage even from AUS to NZ is quite
expensive (at least for me).

I bought my Chinese tips from TradeMe for about NZ$30 for 10 tips (and
another $10 delivery). So cheap compared to Hakko but still not really
cheap... Perhaps they aren't lasting as long as I'm used to tips lasting
because I've used them for differing solder formulations and I should get a
set for each? However that would be a real PITA.

Cheers.

Yeah but the items I order ship from China or HK and standard postage is
free on a lot of items. If I choose postage to NZ it's still free, so
how does it cost you any more to use Ebay for those same items?

You can source the same tips from a Chinese/HK Ebay seller and pay about
$7 including postage to NZ. Of the ones I checked that had free postage
to AU selecting NZ was still free.

using a wet sponge, leaving the tip coated in fresh solder etc.

Mine seem OK thus far and I paid about $7 for 5 tips from memory.

The problem is that there isn't an ebay NZ. Because we already had a
strong auction site here that's been established for a decade and a
half (TradeMe) they never bothered trying to fight. Postage even
from AUS to NZ is quite expensive (at least for me).


Yeah but the items I order ship from China or HK and standard postage
is free on a lot of items. If I choose postage to NZ it's still free,
so how does it cost you any more to use Ebay for those same items?

So where's this whole 907A handle for $5? I've been looking and no luck so
far. :-/

post that when I find the computer that I bookmarked all that
stuff on. It uses a PTC thermistor temp. sensor (I need to
modify the temp circuit in my old DSE station) spec'd at 43R -
58R at room temperature. No part number in my PDF page for the
heating element, but it has
"Hakko 003" printed on the side. It's possible they only make
them 1:1 with their irons.


Thanks for that. Just to update, I ordered a whole (907A) handle
assembly for under $5 inc postage which looks identical to the
one I have.

There are downsides to living in NZ. I haven't been able to find a
spare (same iron) here for under $40 and can't find a source for
reasonable tips (other than genuine Hakko ones that cost more than
I can afford).

I bought tips for a few $ and they seem OK ex China (sorry, I don't
have the seller ID anymore) but what is there to stop you buying
another handle like I did off Ebay for about $5 delivered?

When it arrives I'll get the numbers off the element before I
use it for future reference or probably will just order another
one as a spare.
That will probably see out the life of the station anyway. It
works OK but the quality isn't great.

My Yihua 853D+ station works quite well for the light duties I send
its way. However the cheapish tips I bought for it ($30 for six)
don't last long at all despite me excercising best practices, not
using a wet sponge, leaving the tip coated in fresh solder etc.

Mine seem OK thus far and I paid about $7 for 5 tips from memory.

The most helpful tip I can offer is that most the vast majority of
transactions go well. If you have any problem contact the seller before
leaving any feedback.

The few issues I have had were satisfactorily resolved by contacting the
seller. For the few (small) DOA items I have received the seller has
resent a replacement with no requirement to return the faulty item.

Be wary of sellers selling IC's dirt cheap as new or NOS. They can be
recovered chips from used equipment. Again, contact the seller if you
get duped.

Do you know of any real evidence for this? I'm just curious, I
rarely order ICs from China on Ebay, but I'm thinking of getting
some LM3914s at the moment.

I know about the fake chips that pop up with expensive audio
transistors and the like.
