Its not clear what you are asking.
HAKKO FX8804-01 Hot Tweezer for FX-888D, FX-889, FR-701, FR-702

I wouldn't bother with those, spend the money elsewhere.

I will try to explain better, y have a fx888 (non D)  station, someone sells a new 950 hot tweezer, really cheap, i see the connector is different than the one on the recommended fx8804 tweezer, my question is if I can use it if i change the connector, visually seems both tweezers are the same except for the connectors.


Best regards

"The Hakko 950 is compatible with the Hakko 936, 937, 939, 703, 926, 927 and 928 stations."

Hakko says its not compatible, might still work at a lower power draw.

Yes you can use Hakko 950 tweezers with an FX-888 station.
Same connector and pinout. The difference is the FX-8804 is rated 26VAC 65W but the 850 is 24VAC 50W.
The FX-888 base puts out more power than the 936. So you would be overpowering the heater a little bit during warmup I think.
