QUESTION: Hakko FR-301 desolder tool.... what Mains Voltage?

[peteb2]

I've searched as much as possible but can't find confirmation if the tool is completely multi-voltage (100Vac to 240Vac) or are they specified to a different Mains voltage use?

I don't want to risk buying one online & end up it being no go for 230Vac (my local Mains).  Thanks.

They supply different variants of product for different markets, so it is not all universal. The manual shows the PCB and heaters being different

They sell 100-110V, 120V, 127V, 220-230V, and 240V versions. I'm not sure how the part numbers are different. I think the USA version is "FR-301-04/P".

I have one supplied by Hakko UK for use in the UK and it is marked 230V 110W. 50Hz even though the UK mains is typically 240-245V, the UK's 230V is just a EU harmonisation thing, I think the UK it is actually specced at 230V -6 / +10% (rest of EU is +/- 6%) as the UKs distribution network and voltage didn't change in reality.  Anyway the end result of that is that the label attached to mine for UK use gives the model number as FR301-22 if that helps.
