Rework Station with Soldering Iron

Tired of underpowered rework stations that can’t keep up with lead-free solder and large ground planes? The YIHUA 938BD-II delivers 740W of PID-controlled power, combining a hot air gun and soldering iron in one compact unit.

Whether you’re reflowing BGA chips on a PlayStation 5, replacing SMD capacitors on a laptop motherboard, or building your latest Arduino project, this station handles it all. Run both tools simultaneously without power sag—something budget stations struggle to deliver.

Key Benefits

• ESD-safe soldering iron with less than 2Ω tip-to-ground resistance
• Smart sleep and auto-stop modes extend tip and element life
• Integrated LED worklight for precision visibility
• Digital display with °C/°F conversion and calibration wizards
• Compact 150 × 136 × 100mm footprint

Why 740W Changes Everything Budget rework stations share power between tools. Turn on the hot air gun and your soldering iron temperature drops. The YIHUA 938BD-II delivers 740W total power, letting you run both tools at full capacity without compromise.

This matters when you’re preheating a board with hot air while simultaneously soldering nearby components. No waiting. No temperature sag. Just consistent heat when you need it.

PID Control Prevents Thermal Damage The PID temperature control system monitors heat in real time and corrects within ±2°C. No thermal overshoot that damages sensitive ICs. No cold joints from temperature drops.

Set 350°C on the soldering iron, get 350°C at the tip. Set 380°C on the hot air gun, get consistent airflow at that temperature. The digital display shows your set temperature alongside real-time readings, so you always know exactly what’s happening.

Hot Air Rework for SMD and BGA The hot air gun covers 100°C to 480°C with airflow up to 120 L/min. That range handles everything from heat shrink tubing at low temperatures to lead-free BGA reflow at the high end.

Use lower airflow for delicate 0402 and 0603 components that could blow away. Increase flow for larger chips and connectors that need more thermal mass moved quickly. The adjustable settings give you precise control over your rework.

What You Can Repair and Build The YIHUA 938BD-II handles the projects that matter to electronics enthusiasts.

Console repairs: Reflow APU connections on Xbox 360 and PS3. Replace HDMI ports on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Remove and replace BGA chips with precision hot air control.

Laptop and PC work: Swap failed capacitors on graphics cards. Reflow GPU connections. Replace USB ports and DC jacks on laptop motherboards.

Mobile phone repair: Remove shield cans with hot air. Replace charging ICs and audio codecs. Rework fine-pitch QFN and BGA packages on phone boards.

Maker projects: Build Arduino and ESP32 circuits with the soldering iron. Use hot air for SMD component placement. Prototype custom PCBs with professional results.
Retro restoration: Replace leaking capacitors on vintage computers and consoles. Install mod chips. Restore corroded solder joints on classic gaming hardware.

ESD-Safe Soldering Iron The 60W ceramic heater soldering iron delivers temperatures from 200°C to 480°C. More importantly, it’s properly ESD-safe with less than 2Ω resistance from tip to ground.

This protection matters when working on sensitive CMOS chips, memory ICs, and modern processors. Static discharge can destroy components invisibly. The YIHUA 938BD-II keeps your work protected.

Integrated LED Worklight The built-in LED illuminates your workspace directly where you’re working. No more shadows from overhead lights. No need for a separate desk lamp crowding your bench.

This visibility matters for fine-pitch SMD work where you need to see exactly where solder flows. The integrated design keeps your workspace clean and organised.

Smart Sleep and Auto-Stop Modes Leave the tools idle and the station automatically enters sleep mode. Lower standby temperatures reduce oxidation on your soldering tips and extend heating element life in the hot air gun.

The auto-stop function powers down completely after extended idle time. Walk away from your bench without worrying about leaving hot tools running. Your equipment stays protected.

On-Screen Calibration Both tools include calibration wizards accessible through the digital display. If your tip temperature drifts over time, recalibrate without external equipment. Professional repair work requires accurate temperatures, and the 938BD-II lets you verify and adjust as needed.

Compact Footprint At just 150 × 136 × 100mm, the YIHUA 938BD-II takes up minimal bench space. The integrated design eliminates cable clutter from separate units. One power cord, one station, two professional tools ready to work.

First Use Instructions Let the station rest at room temperature for 12 hours before first use. This allows internal components to stabilise after shipping. Clean tool heads on the supplied sponge after each session. Tin soldering tips before storage to prevent oxidation. Keep ventilation clear for proper cooling.

What Makers Are Saying “Finally a rework station that doesn’t choke when I run both tools. Reflowed a PS4 APU while keeping my iron hot for touch-up work. No temperature drops, no waiting.”

“The LED worklight is a game changer. I can actually see what I’m doing on fine-pitch chips without repositioning my desk lamp every few minutes.”
