What is Induction Heating?
Induction heating uses alternating current to transfer heat and electricity through an induction coil which creates "eddy currents". These eddy currents flow through the resistance of the soldering tip material, heating up the tip.
Induction heating is more efficient than ceramic heating and traditional wire. An induction heated soldering iron with a lower wattage can perform better than other conventional soldering irons.
Hakko implemented the induction heating technology into some of our soldering irons and hot tweezer. Check them out below!

Tips Curie Points
Curie point is the temperature threshold for each soldering tip. Tips with curie point will have a specific temperature where the soldering iron will immediately heat up to once it turns on.
For induction heating soldering irons, it is important to purchase the tips according to the temperature used.
| Tip Temperature | Soldering Iron/Tips |
| 350°C | FX-1001 (T31), FX-1002 (T35), FX-1003 (T38) |
| 400°C | FX-1001 (T31), FX-1002 (T35), FX-1003 (T38) |
| 450°C | FX-1001 (T31) only |
