Hakko offers three versions of the FA430 Solder Fume Extractor through DigiKey - the FA430-16, the FA430-KIT1, and the FA430-KIT2. What are the differences between these three variations, and which one is right for you?
FA430-16 is the base fume extractor unit that does not ship with any hoses, nozzles, or ducting. Select this model if you are replacing an existing fume extractor and already have the ducting required, or if your particular requirements need a custom solution you’ll be providing yourself.
FA430-KIT1 comes with a duct and hosing kit, as well as a rectangular nozzle. Select this kit if your work station is best fit by a rectangular nozzle, such as if the fume extractor is being integrated into a larger overall hood.
FA430-KIT2 comes with the same duct and hosing kit, but substitutes a circular nozzle for the rectangular one. Select this kit if you need a bit more flexibility from your fume extractor.
Note that while only our website image for the FA430-16 visibly includes the A1585 and A1586 filter elements, these filters do come with all of these kit options and do not need to be purchased separately.
