YIHUA 853D 3-in-1 Soldering Station with Hot Air Rework & DC Power Supply
Tired of juggling three separate tools for every repair job? The YIHUA 853D combines a soldering iron, hot air gun, and adjustable DC power supply into one compact workstation that fits your bench without taking it over.
Whether you’re replacing capacitors on a vintage Game Boy, reflowing BGA chips on a PlayStation 3, or powering your Arduino during testing, this station handles it all. Built for hobbyists ready to move beyond basic irons and repair techs who need reliable performance—without the £400+ price tag of a JBC or high-end Hakko.

Three Tools. One Station. Complete Workflow.
Most repair jobs need more than just a soldering iron. Hot air removes stubborn components. A power supply tests circuits before final assembly. Running three separate tools means three power cables, three footprints, and constant switching between equipment.
The YIHUA 853D consolidates everything:
| Tool | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Soldering Iron | Precision joints on THT and SMD | Daily driver for assembly and repair |
| Hot Air Gun | Reflow, removal, heat shrink | Essential for SMD rework and BGA |
| DC Power Supply | Circuit testing and prototyping | Verify repairs before reassembly |
Use them independently or together. One station handles your entire repair workflow from diagnosis to completion.
What You Can Repair and Build
Maker Projects Build Arduino and ESP32 circuits with the soldering iron while powering your project from the built-in DC supply. Assemble LED strip controllers. Prototype custom PCBs with stable voltage during testing.
Console Repairs Fix joystick drift on PlayStation and Xbox controllers. Replace HDMI ports with hot air removal and precision soldering. Reflow APU connections on Xbox 360 and PS3. Test power circuits before reassembly.
Phone and Tablet Work Swap charging ports using hot air to lift old connectors cleanly. Replace battery connectors. Rework surface-mount components with precision temperature control.
Retro Restoration Install Game Boy backlights. Replace capacitors on vintage computers and consoles. Mod classic gaming hardware. The DC supply powers boards for testing during restoration.
Custom Keyboards Solder switches with consistent heat. Install hot-swap sockets. Assemble split keyboard PCBs. The temperature stability makes high-volume switch work comfortable.
Soldering Iron Performance
The iron delivers temperatures from 200°C to 480°C with fast thermal recovery. Large ground planes and heat-sinking pads won’t drag your tip temperature down.
ESD-Safe Design Less than 2Ω tip-to-ground resistance protects sensitive ICs, CMOS components, and memory chips from static discharge damage.
Sleep Mode Protection Leave the iron idle and temperature drops automatically. This prevents tip oxidation that destroys tips left at working temperature. Shake the handle to return to full heat in seconds—no waiting for complete heat-up cycles.
What You Can Solder: → Through-hole components and connectors → SMD packages: SOIC, QFP, PLCC, CHIP → Fine-pitch work on 0402 and 0603 components → Lead-free joints on modern boards → Leaded solder on vintage equipment
Hot Air Rework Station
The hot air gun covers 100°C to 480°C with a brushless motor delivering up to 120 L/min airflow. Brushless design means smoother, more consistent air delivery—components stay in place during reflow.
Auto/Manual Modes Switch between automatic temperature management and manual control based on your task. The cold/hot air toggle lets you switch between heating and cooling with one button—speed up your workflow when lifting chips or setting solder paste.
Temperature Range Applications:
| Range | Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 100°C – 150°C | Heat shrink tubing, gentle warming |
| 250°C – 300°C | Adhesive softening, plastic-safe work |
| 320°C – 350°C | Leaded solder reflow |
| 380°C – 420°C | Lead-free solder, BGA rework |
| 420°C – 480°C | Stubborn joints, heavy thermal mass |
Built-In DC Power Supply
The adjustable power supply outputs 0–15V at up to 2A with real-time voltage monitoring. Essential for testing circuits before final assembly.
What You Can Power: → Arduino and ESP32 projects during development → Raspberry Pi builds for testing → LED circuits and strips → Repaired boards before reassembly → Battery charging applications
Short-Circuit Protection Automatic shutdown activates when the supply detects a short. This protects both your circuit and the station itself. Essential when probing unfamiliar boards or testing freshly repaired connections.
Dual LED Displays
Both the soldering iron and hot air gun have dedicated LED displays showing real-time temperature readings. No guessing whether your tools are at the right heat.
What You See: → Set temperature for each tool → Actual temperature in real time → °C or °F display (switchable)
Set 350°C, watch the display confirm you’re there. Monitor thermal recovery after touching cold joints. Know exactly what heat you’re delivering.
Compact Footprint
At 255 × 188 × 125mm, the YIHUA 853D takes up less bench space than three separate tools would. The integrated design eliminates cable clutter and cuts setup time.
Space Comparison:
| Setup | Approximate Footprint |
|---|---|
| Separate iron + hot air + PSU | 600+ mm combined width |
| YIHUA 853D | 255mm total width |
More workspace for your actual projects. Less time organising equipment.
