|---|---|---|
| No temperature control | Digital temperature control | Digital temperature control |
| Fixed or vague heat | 90°C – 480°C adjustable | Wide range adjustable |
| No display | LED display built-in | Separate display unit |
| Lightweight | 104g lightweight | Heavy base unit |
| No ESD protection | ESD-safe (< 2Ω) | ESD-safe |
Station performance. Portable convenience.
65W for Demanding Work
Don’t let the compact size fool you. The 65W heating element handles serious soldering tasks:
→ Lead-free solder joints requiring sustained heat → Ground planes that sink heat away from your tip → Larger connectors and wire splicing → Continuous work without thermal fatigue
The slot heating element reaches up to 500°C, providing thermal headroom for demanding applications. Fast heat-up gets you working quickly. Rapid recovery maintains temperature through challenging joints.
±2°C Temperature Stability
Precise temperature matters. Too cold and solder won’t flow properly. Too hot and you damage components or burn flux. The YIHUA 928D-I maintains your set temperature within ±2°C in static conditions.
What this precision enables:
→ Consistent joints throughout your session → Safe work on temperature-sensitive components → Reliable lead-free soldering → Repeatable results on every project
Set 350°C, get 350°C. The thermostatic control auto-regulates continuously, compensating for heat loss during soldering and environmental fluctuations.

LED Digital Display
The built-in LED display shows your exact temperature without squinting at a separate control box. Real-time readings let you:
→ Confirm you’re at working temperature before starting → Monitor heat during operation → Verify stability on demanding joints → Adjust precisely for different tasks
Clear, bright display visible in any lighting conditions. Essential feedback built right into the tool.
Built-In LED Spotlight
Three bright LEDs illuminate your work area directly where you’re soldering. No more shadows from overhead lights. No awkward positioning to see your joints.
Perfect for:
→ Working inside enclosures and cases → Tight spaces with poor ambient lighting → Fine-pitch SMD work requiring visibility → Field repairs in less-than-ideal conditions
The light follows your iron—always pointing exactly where you need it.
Anti-Static Protection
Modern electronics are sensitive to static discharge. The YIHUA 928D-I includes proper ESD protection with tip-to-ground impedance under 2Ω.
What’s protected:
→ Microcontrollers and processors → Memory chips and storage ICs → CMOS logic and analog circuits → Sensitive console and phone components
Work confidently on Arduino projects, game controller repairs, and phone boards. Your components stay safe from electrical damage.
10-Minute Sleep Mode
Step away to check a reference or grab a component and the iron enters sleep mode automatically. Temperature drops to 200°C, protecting your tip from oxidation without requiring full reheat when you return.
Benefits:
| Feature | Result |
|---|---|
| Reduced oxidation | Tips last longer |
| Lower idle temperature | Safer workspace |
| Quick wake-up | Ready in seconds when you return |
| Energy savings | Lower power draw when idle |
To reactivate, simply start working again. The iron returns to your set temperature quickly.
Lightweight Portability
At just 104g, the YIHUA 928D-I travels easily and handles comfortably during long sessions.
Take it to:
→ Makerspaces and hackathons → Friends’ houses for repair sessions → Field service calls → Cramped workspaces where stations won’t fit
No heavy base unit to transport. No control box to position. Just the iron, a power outlet, and you’re working.
What You Can Repair and Build
Console Controller Repairs Fix joystick drift on PlayStation and Xbox controllers. Replace buttons, triggers, and charging ports. The spotlight illuminates tight controller interiors perfectly.
