Hakko Thermometers
Hakko thermometers measure temperature accurately and quickly. They consist of two main parts: the sensor and the display. The sensor measures the temperature, and the display shows the user the temperature in a numerical value. Hakko thermometers feature fine CA wire sensors and easy-to-read digital displays.
Thermometers come in a variety of styles and sizes to meet a range of needs. They are used in a variety of applications, including heating and cooling, appliances, aircraft, agriculture, food and beverage, and many more. The different types of thermometers have unique features that make them more effective and easier to use for various specific tasks. For instance, Hakko thermometers are optimized for soldering use as they can measure tip temperatures as well as solder pot temperatures
with the optional temperature probe.
When choosing a thermometer, it is important to consider how it will be used.
Types of Hakko Thermometers
- Contact Thermometers. Contact thermometers measure the temperatures of materials by coming into direct contact with the object. They can be used to measure a variety of objects, and they are available in a range of styles and sizes to meet various needs.
- Digital Thermometers: The clear digital displays on digital thermometers are easier to read than traditional analog thermometers. They come in a variety of styles and sizes to meet a range of needs.
Hakko Contact Thermometers
Contact thermometers measure the temperatures of materials by coming into direct contact with objects under test. These types of thermometers feature a temperature probe and a clear digital display. Hakko contact thermometers feature unique contact sensors with
patented special metal alloy coatings that resist corrosion and oxidation.
This extends sensor life in Hakko thermometers, however if a sensor should fail replacement is cheap and easy.
Configurations of Hakko Contact Thermometers
- FG100-01: The Hakko FG100-01 is a digital contact thermometer capable of measuring temperatures up to 700 degrees Centigrade. This thermometer configuration can only measure temperatures in degrees Centigrade.
- FG100-02: The Hakko FG100-02 is identical to the FG100-01 model in almost evey way. However, the 02 version measures temperatures solely in degrees Fahrenheit. This thermometer is capable of measuring temperatures up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not get confused; make sure you purchase the thermometer that will measure temperatures on the scale you need.
Hakko Temperature Probes. Temperature probes are metal thermometers used to measure the temperature of a specific environment, such as a piece of meat or a liquid. They are often used in food preparations and laboratories. Hakko probes are designed to measure solder pot temperature. With the optional
A1310 Solder Pot Thermocouple Probe Hakko thermometers are capable of accurately measureing solder pot temperature.

High Accuracy Secondary Thermometers vs. Primary Contact Thermometers
There are two main types of thermometers: primary and secondary. The category the thermometer fits in depends on how the temperature measurement is calculated.
The most common type of thermometer is a high accuracy secondary thermometer. This type is widely used because of its convenience and accuracy. Hakko contact thermometers are high accuracy secondary type. This type of thermometer must be calibrated against a primary thermometer. Hakko gives customers several options for calibration: factory calibration at Hakko, calibration via a third party calibration services provider, or self-calibration using the included instructions. If you choose to calibrate the unit yourself, be aware that the unit must be disassembled while powered on to perform the calibration.
Primary thermometers are more complex than secondary thermometers. These thermometers calculate temperature without any unknown quantities because the measured matter is so well known. For instance, these thermometers may base their measurements on the equation of the state of a gas, on the velocity of sound in a gas, on thermal noise, or other complex equations.
