Desoldering's primary objective is to melt the solder at a through hole or surface mount connection and to extract it swiftly and cleanly. This allows easy removal of the component and ideally leaves behind only a residual coating of solder. Field tests of the Hexacon DS101-V Desoldering Station have shown it to provide optimized desoldering performance as demonstrated by the minimal required dwell time of its tip on the joint coupled with fast reflow and immediate extraction of the molten solder.

The DS101-V's vacuum/temperature base unit features an aluminum and brass venturi vacuum generator and spike-free, low voltage DC switching. The DS101-P integrates an efficient diaphragm pump making it a stand-alone and easily portable desoldering system.
The front panel of the DS101 provides an electrical connection and a quick-release vacuum port connection for the desoldering hand tool. A potentiometer controls available element power.

The desoldering hand tool features a large, clear collection chamber that is easily removed for cleaning and transfer tube radiator fins that efficiently cool the collector assembly.
A rugged unit, the DS101 Desoldering System has been designed for years of dependable, trouble-free performance Like most other Hexacon Electric products, the DS101 is manufactured completely in the United States and all parts are individually replaceable by the end user.
