Start from the soldering iron station that is already sitting on your bench, not from a part number you half remember. This guide walks station model to handle, handle to series, and series to a physical fit check, then lines up the properties that actually decide reorder value on soldering iron tips — core material, plating stack, measured dimensions and expected service life.
Three measurements settle almost every T18 fit question. Take them on the tip you are replacing, not on the station, and take them with a caliper.
Close the caliper jaws across the barrel seat of the tip. A T18 tip measures 6.8 mm here; a reading noticeably above or below that points to a different series.
Measure across the open mounting end of the tip. The T18 bore is 4.2 mm — this is the dimension that decides whether the tip seats flat against the heating element.
Run the caliper from the base of the barrel to the very end of the working surface. A T18 tip is 41 mm long; extra length changes the reach and the balance in the hand.
Do not file, sand or ream a tip to make it seat. Abrasives strip the plating, and a loose barrel loses the heat path between element and working end — both failures shorten service life.
Five common buying situations, and the product fact that should drive each decision.
Repeated joints pull heat out of the tip faster than a single repair ever will.
Decide on: a tip specified for lead-free SAC305, held at 350 °C ± 10 °C, with replacement budgeted by joint count rather than by calendar.
Lower process temperatures and short bursts of work between other tasks.
Decide on: the leaded range of 320 °C ± 10 °C, where the pre-applied tin layer at the working end gives immediate wetting on the first joint after power-up.
Several stations, one purchasing decision, and a real risk of cross-contamination in the tip drawer.
Decide on: series per station first — T18 for the FX-888D with FX-8801 handle, 900M for the 936 bench — then a single bulk quote covering both series.
Tips are cycled hot and cold all day and handled by people still learning.
Decide on: a tip that tolerates repeated thermal cycling — cold-headed C10200 copper core for heat delivery, plus iron, nickel, chromium and tin plating for oxidation resistance.
Tip spend is small per unit and large per year, and every early failure is a line stoppage.
Decide on: the stated 20,000–40,000 joint lifespan at 350–400 °C with proper maintenance, and the stated 30–50% saving against genuine Hakko T18 tips.
Two things separate a tip that holds temperature from one that fades mid-shift: what the heat travels through, and what protects it from solder and oxide.
| Core material | C10200 oxygen-free copper, oxygen content ≤ 0.001% |
|---|---|
| Core forming | Cold heading, used to preserve molecular integrity |
| Thermal conductivity | Stated approximately 15% higher than machined cores |
| Plating process | 80-hour nano-composite electroplating, four functional layers |
| Iron / chromium current density | 10 A/dm² iron layer · 20 A/dm² hard chromium layer |
| Solder processes | Lead-free SAC305 and leaded Sn63Pb37 |
| Service life claim | 20,000–40,000 solder joints at 350–400 °C with proper maintenance |
| Cost position | 30–50% saving compared with genuine Hakko T18 tips, stated as consistent batch to batch |
| Maintenance | Wipe with a damp sponge or brass wire ball; leave a solder cap before powering off; no files or abrasives |
| Replace when | Pits or holes appear, solder creeps up the barrel, heating efficiency drops, or the surface blackens and rejects solder |
Pricing on these T18 tips is handled through a quote rather than a checkout, so volume, delivery and technical documents are confirmed together before an order is placed.
Share your handle model, the series you are replacing, target quantity and the process solder you run. The contact form accepts a photo and a requirements document, so one submission covers the technical and commercial questions.
Keep adjacent product options together for a faster catalog comparison.

View productthey are separate fittings, not two names for the same part. the fx-888d with an fx-8801 handle is the combination the t18 series is specified for, and the 900m series is listed against the 936 and hakko stations as its own range. check the marking on the tip you are removing, then measure the barrel before switching series.
yes. the t18 range is listed for lead-free sac305 and leaded sn63pb37 processes. match your working temperature to the solder: 350 °c ± 10 °c for lead-free and 320 °c ± 10 °c for leaded.
the stated service life is 20,000–40,000 solder joints at 350–400 °c with proper maintenance. replace the tip when you see pits or holes on the working surface, solder creeping up the barrel, a clear loss of heating efficiency, or a permanently blackened end that will not accept solder.
these specific t18 tips are supplied as catalogued without customization. bespoke geometry, plating specification, laser marking and private label are handled on other product lines, so send the requirement and the technical team will confirm what is achievable.
purchasing runs through the quote and contact route rather than an online cart. share your handle model, the series you need, quantity and destination, and you will receive pricing and availability for your volume.
these tips are dimensioned at 6.8 mm outer diameter, 4.2 mm inner diameter and 41 mm total length. measure your current tip and compare before ordering; if a reading falls outside those figures, request a cross-reference with your handle model and a photo of the barrel seat.
