This iron is ideal for soldering difficult-to-solder heavy ground planes and/or high heat sink applications. For heavy duty soldering, the FM-2030 is the ideal companion for the Hakko FM-203 dual port soldering station or the FM-206 3-port rework system
IMPORTANT: The FM-2030 can only be attached to the Hakko FM-203 "D" port, and the Hakko FM-206 CH2 or CH3 ports. If you attach the iron to any other port, a grip error or connector error (C-E) will occur.
