T18 Series
Soldering and Desoldering Tips
The Hakko T18 series is an extensive soldering tip range with 46 articles for Hakko soldering stations in the T18-compatible line. The range covers all common geometries: chisel profiles from 0.5 mm (T18-C05) to 5 mm (T18-C5), pencil-point B variants (T18-B, T18-BL, T18-SB), straight chisel D series (0.8-3.2 mm), pre-tinned CF versions and special S profiles (T18-S4, T18-S6). DL tips are also available for precision tasks (T18-DL12, T18-DL2).
C series (chisel) - T18-C05 to T18-C5: widths 0.5 mm to 5 mm for general soldering
CF series (pre-tinned) - T18-CF1 to T18-CF4, T18-CF15, T18-CSF25: better wetting from first use
D series (straight chisel) - T18-D08 to T18-D32: 0.8-3.2 mm for precision and standard soldering
B variants (pencil) - T18-B, T18-BL, T18-SB for fine soldering and narrow pads
S special profiles - T18-S4, T18-S6 for specialised applications
DL tips - T18-DL12 (1.2 mm), T18-DL2 for flat chisel work with longitudinal guidance
| Soldering task | Recommended format | Example items |
|---|---|---|
| Standard SMD, THT | C chisel | T18-C1, T18-C2, T18-C3 |
| Fine SMD, narrow pads | B pencil, D fine chisel | T18-B, T18-D08, T18-D12 |
| First use, solder contact | CF pre-tinned | T18-CF1, T18-CF2 |
| Longitudinal guided joints | DL | T18-DL12, T18-DL2 |
| Ground connections, wide pads | C chisel large | T18-C4, T18-C5 |
Typical applications: SMD soldering and manual THT assembly in electronics production, PCB rework and repair, prototype development and laboratory soldering, cable assembly, and after-sales service work on assemblies with varying pad geometries and component sizes.
