Product Description
Born for precision soldering
The YIHUA 982 III precision soldering station is designed for soldering and rework applications with micro-sized electronic components commonly found on delicate small devices. This soldering station comes with a compact body design, taking up less space on your work desk.
C245 Handpiece
Can be used for general soldering with standard-sized circuit boards and components. The bigger thermal mass also means better performance when soldering joints connected to a ground-plane.
Adjustable Parameters
Temperature Range: 90~450°C / 194~842°F
Temperature Control: PID Stabilization (in milliseconds)
°C / °F Conversion: ✔
Sleep Mode
The soldering iron cools to 200°C/392°F immediately when placed inside the holder. This reduces the oxidation and wear for the soldering tip cartridge.
Standby Mode
When the station enters sleep mode for longer than approximately 5 minutes (non-adjustable), the station will automatically enter the stand-by mode. Pick up the soldering iron to restart the soldering station.

Specifications
Model 982-III (606A Handpiece) Rated Voltage Range 110V-240V~ Rated Frequency 50Hz-60Hz Rated Power 60W Main Unit Dimensions L7.09 x W2.68 x H4.33inches 士5inches Temperature Range 90℃～450℃/194℉～842℉ Operating Temperature 0℃～40℃/32℉～104℉ Tip to Ground Resistance <2 Ω Ohms
This professional ESD-safe digital soldering station offers cutting-edge precision for electronic repair and rework jobs on circuit boards with extremely small components. Equipped with the C245 compatible soldering iron, you can solder both micro-sized and standard-sized components. (4 soldering tip cartridges are included)
The soldering iron temperature is adjustable from 194~842°F, with temperature control that cycles in milliseconds. The new LCD colored display provides greater contrast to monitor the settings easily. The piano-key design allows for greater comfort and simplistic adjustment interface when adjusting any parameters for the soldering station.
Sleep mode activates when the soldering iron is placed inside the holder, this function helps extend tip lifespan. Automatic shutdown cuts power to the handpiece when non-use for longer than the set period is detected, prevents leaving the unit ON unattended. Also comes with °C-°F conversion.
The unit comes with attachable (optional for professional users) features include helping hands, brass wool tip cleaner, cleaning sponge with temperature-resistant surround, tip-change/storage groove, solder wire dispenser, soldering iron handpiece cable guide, and more.

Customers say
Customers appreciate the soldering station’s screen size and temperature control. They find it compact and easy to use, with a nice screen that heats up instantly and cools down when inserted in base. The temperature readings appear accurate out-of-the-box and move slightly while using.

Good buy for hobby soldering
Have had this for a little over 10mths, can turn it on and be ready to solder within a minute. Have repaired 4 or 5 controllers, soldered some automotive connectors into the wiring harness and soldered a new radio wiring harness together, have used some tip tin cleaner after every use to keep it from oxidizing, my only gripe is it comes with two sharp pencil tips and only one curved one, the curved one is definitely more helpful to me for my projects but that’s a personal preference. Can get replacements eventually for around $15-$20

Perfect for computer repair, has a very precise solder head
That’s the best soldering station I ever saw compared to the ones found in brick & mortar shops.The ones found in physical stores are too thick and can’t manage micro-electronics (not high enough temperature, needs 400°C or more).With this one I can choose the temperature as I see fit up to 450°C (842°F) and it takes only a few seconds to reach this temperature.I don’t use its “holding arms” accessory but it’s still very nice to have just incase (the metal arms that hold the parts in place for you, left & right arms).However one thing I noted is that the soldering iron unexpectedly shuts down if I move it a little, even gently while the solder wire holder is plugged-in.I had to remove the solder wire holder (removable accessory) and I was afterwards able to move the soldering station without having it unexpectedly shutdown.So if you’re having unexpected shutdown issues, this might be the problem; the solder-wire holder accessory, try removing it.Other than that, it’s the best ever soldering station I saw. Other ones cost considerably higher prices for a similar temperature changer functionality.I also modified it on my hand by cutting the US power outlet plug and replacing it with an EU power plug, which worked flawlessly (it supports 240V electrical current as well).

Nicest soldering station I have used
“Heating Element Not Detected”? push harder to seat the tip. I had to push hard enough I was concerned about doing damage to it. But it finally seated properly.This soldering station is so much nicer than the one I used for NASA high reliability soldering when I was in the military. OK that was back in the 1970s and I am sure they have much nicer ones now than the ones I used back then. But I really like this one.It heats up really fast and as soon as you put the wand into the stand it goes down to its “sleep” temp. This will make the tips last much longer. As soon as you pull it back out of the stand it heats right back up.YIHUA has nicer stations than this, but for the price this one is hard to beat. I recommend it.

A beginner’s perspective
I’m new at soldering, but over the past six months I’ve probably made a thousand solder joints with a Pinecil v2 and the tip that came with it. Dozens of 2×3-pin WS2812b PCBs, ESP32s, RP2040s, and accessory boards such as motor controllers, current monitors, etc.I’m ready for an upgrade. After soldering about a hundred joints with the 982-III C245, I’ve decided that it’s not for me.The first thing I noticed with this is that the handle is not pin-compatible with JBC handles. Probably not a big deal, Yihua handles are not currently hard to come by, but some other manufacturers are compatible at both ends. The unit is light, on my kitchen scale the whole thing in the box was 35 ounces, so probably under 2lbs on my desk. The feet aren’t all that grip-y and it slides around easily on my desk. The bracket for the solder spool holder needed some bending to fit the dowel and allow everything to sit flat (it can attach to either side). Of the four tips that it came with, two are the same “I” type with a very fine point.My first couple joints with my familiar 67/37 1.3% flux solder, the “I” tip, and the iron set to my usual 360C did not go well. Switching to the “K” tip and bumping the temperature to 370C got things flowing as I expected and the iron kept up with me doing about 70 more joints as fast as I can muster. As another reviewer pointed out, the indicated temperature stays suspiciously steady with no overshoot.I tried some SRA SAC305 solder that I’d never used before and similarly experienced that I needed to set the temp higher than expected to get good results. I don’t have a tool to test the temperature but I feel confident that it is reading high.By my phone timer, it takes about 12 seconds from flipping the power switch to reaching an indicated 370C. From the 200C standby it’s 5-6 seconds. From sleep mode it’s 10 seconds. That seems acceptable to me but actually a bit slower to heat up than my Pinecil on a 65W USB-C supply, and the Pinecil is much faster to react.I can’t really see how this iron is any better than the $50-$60 units that’ll take JBC tips. It has a fancier screen but in terms of functionality there’s not much extra there.I’ve decided that I’d rather have the AiXun T320. Costs more, but has a JBC-compatible connector, has additional functionality with upgradeable firmware, and out-of-the-box the temperature readings appear spot-on and actually move a bit while I’m using it. I paid for my T320, same as I paid for this 982-III that I’m returning.
