Fume Extractions

Soldering iron fume extraction

This category covers retrofit kits, adapter kits and accessories that capture solder fumes right at the soldering tip, before they rise into the breathing zone. The parts come from Weller, JBC, Donaldson Bofa and Quick and connect to an existing fume extractor. They differ in the soldering iron they fit (for example T245 / AD2245, T210 / AD2210 or WXP 65), in the extraction tube diameter from 4 mm to 6.5 mm and in the hose connection, such as Easy-Click 60.

How to choose Soldering iron fume extraction

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Selection criteria

Criterion	What to check	Example from the range
Soldering iron / handpiece	Each kit is designed for specific irons or handpieces. Compare the type designation before ordering.	JBC F3449 for T245 / AD2245, Weller T0051312599 for DS22/DS80/DSX80
Extraction tube diameter	The tube has to suit the tip so that the opening sits close to the joint.	Weller Ø 4.5 mm, Ø 6 mm and Ø 6.5 mm, JBC 4 mm or 6 mm tube
Line connection	The hose or pipe must match the inlet of the fume extractor or the central duct.	Weller adapter 75 mm tube to Easy-Click 60, JBC F4468 with 2 m hose
Suction source	Electric fume extractor or a compressed-air unit at the workstation.	Weller WFE compressed-air operated for 2 FE soldering irons, 39 dBA
Maintenance	Flux residues clog the tubes over time. Plan for cleaning and sealing.	Donaldson Bofa tube cleaning brush, pack of 5, sealing plugs, pack of 10
ESD	Inside an EPA, check for an antistatic version and documentation.	Filter ESD (antistatic) and IEC 61340-5-1

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Soldering iron fume extraction

What is the benefit of extraction at the soldering iron?

Fumes are captured at the tip before they rise. Because the capture point moves with the iron, there is no extraction arm to reposition.

Does a retrofit kit fit any soldering iron?

No. Kits are designed for specific irons and handpieces, for example JBC F3449 for T245 / AD2245 or Weller T0051312599 for DS22/DS80/DSX80. Check the type designation of your iron.

Do I also need a fume extractor?

Yes, the kit only provides capture at the tip. It connects to a solder fume extractor; alternatively the Weller WFE runs on compressed air for 2 FE soldering irons.

How do I keep the extraction tubes clean?

Donaldson Bofa supplies tube cleaning brushes in packs of 5. Unused tubes can be closed with sealing plugs supplied in packs of 10.
