Need hot air capability without paying for features you won’t use? The YIHUA 959D delivers focused performance for SMD rework, IC removal, and component-level repairs. Temperature range from 100°C to 450°C covers everything from heat shrink tubing to lead-free BGA reflow—with ±5°C stability that keeps your work consistent.
Whether you’re replacing charge port connectors on phones, lifting shield cans from console motherboards, or reflowing stubborn SMD capacitors, this station provides the controlled heat that makes hot air work predictable instead of stressful.

Why Brushless Airflow Matters
Cheap hot air stations use basic fans that create turbulent, uneven airflow. Components shift. Heat distribution becomes unpredictable. Tiny parts blow away entirely.
The YIHUA 959D uses a brushless fan system that delivers:
| Benefit | Result |
|---|---|
| Smooth air delivery | Even heat across component footprints |
| Consistent pressure | Parts stay in place during reflow |
| Quieter operation | Less noise during long sessions |
| Longer lifespan | Brushless motors outlast conventional fans |
Up to 120 L/min maximum airflow handles everything from delicate 0402 components (low flow) to stubborn BGA packages and shield cans (high flow). Dial in exactly what your task requires.
±5°C Temperature Stability
Hot air rework demands consistent heat. Temperature swings cause:
→ Incomplete reflow when heat drops → Component damage when heat spikes → Unpredictable results that waste time and parts
The YIHUA 959D maintains your set temperature within ±5°C throughout your work session. Set 380°C for lead-free work, get 380°C—consistently, reliably, every time.
This stability matters most during critical operations like BGA reflow where temperature profiles determine success or failure.
LED Digital Display
The clear LED display shows your exact temperature setting at a glance. No guessing whether you’re at the right heat for your task.
What you get:
→ Accurate temperature readings → Easy setting adjustments → Real-time monitoring → Clear visibility in any lighting
Dial in your temperature, confirm it on the display, start working with confidence.
What You Can Rework
SMD Components Remove and replace surface-mount resistors, capacitors, and small ICs. The adjustable airflow protects tiny 0402 and 0603 parts from displacement while delivering enough heat for clean removal.
Multi-Pin ICs Lift QFP, SOIC, and QFN packages without damaging adjacent components. Controlled heat and airflow let you work precisely on crowded boards.
BGA Packages Reflow ball grid array chips on graphics cards, game consoles, and phone boards. The 450°C maximum and stable output handle lead-free BGA work.
Shield Cans and Covers Remove RF shields from phone and tablet boards for component access. Hot air makes quick work of soldered-down covers.
Connectors and Ports Replace USB ports, charge connectors, and HDMI sockets. Heat the entire footprint evenly for clean removal without pad damage.
Heat Shrink and General Heating The 100°C minimum handles heat shrink tubing, adhesive softening, and gentle warming tasks that don’t need full rework temperatures.
Ideal Applications
Phone and Tablet Repair Remove charge port assemblies, lift shield cans, replace audio and power ICs. Essential tool for board-level mobile device repair.
Console Repairs Reflow APU connections on Xbox 360 and PS3. Replace HDMI ports on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Remove and reball BGA chips.
Laptop Motherboard Work Reflow GPU connections. Replace failed surface-mount components. Remove connectors and ports for replacement.
Component Salvage Strip donor boards efficiently. Recover valuable ICs, connectors, and components for reuse. Build your parts inventory from retired equipment.
PCB Prototyping Place and reflow SMD components during prototype builds. Rework mistakes without scrapping entire boards.
Temperature Guide
| Temperature Range | Applications |
|---|---|
| 100°C – 150°C | Heat shrink tubing, adhesive softening |
| 200°C – 250°C | Plastic-safe heating, gentle warming |
| 300°C – 350°C | Leaded solder reflow, general SMD work |
| 380°C – 420°C | Lead-free solder, BGA rework |
| 420°C – 450°C | Stubborn joints, heavy thermal mass |
Start lower and increase if needed. Higher temperatures accelerate component wear and risk board damage.
Airflow Control
Match your airflow to your component size:
Low Airflow → Fine-pitch SMD components → 0402, 0603, 0805 parts → Prevents displacement during reflow → Concentrated heat on small areas
Medium Airflow → Standard IC packages → SOIC, QFP, QFN chips → Balanced heat and coverage → General-purpose rework
High Airflow → Large BGA packages → Shield cans and covers → Connectors with large footprints → Maximum thermal mass transfer

What Makers Are Saying
“Perfect entry into hot air rework. The brushless fan is noticeably smoother than cheaper stations I’ve tried—components actually stay put during reflow. Temperature holds steady throughout the job.”
“Bought this for phone repair work. Shield can removal is so much easier with proper hot air. The 959D does exactly what I need without unnecessary features driving up the price.”
