Features
- DT530 Desoldering Iron is used for desoldering jobs of through-hole components and removing excess solder after SMD rework.
- It must be connected to an electric (MSE) or pneumatic desoldering module (MVE) and to the tool stand*. The suction power from MSE or MVE pumps ensure optimal work quality.
- To control and operate DT530 and the desoldering module, DDE or DME control unit is needed.
JBC Most Efficient Soldering System
- JBC technology allows to recovery of tip temperature extremely quickly thanks to the temperature stability and heat control of the cartridge tip. This means that the user can work at a lower temperature.
- Thanks to sleep and hibernation modes, the temperature of the cartridge tip is further reduced when the tool is not in use and resting in the stand. This increases the lifespan of the cartridge tip.
Connection Example
Note: To operate with DT530, control units must be upgraded to the following software versions or higher:
-
*DDE 2-Tool Control Unit
min. firmware version 8886903 -
*DME 4-Tool Control Unit
min. firmware version 8886909

Right-handed Use / Left-handed Use
- DT530 is designed so that the solder-collector group can be positioned on the left or right side of the push button. This allows for right-handed and left-handed users to find their most comfortable work position.
- By default, the solder-collector group comes assembled for right-handed users, but it can be easily set up for left-hand use.
Position for Right-Handed Use:
Position for Left-Handed Use:
Tool Set Up for Right-handed or Left-handed Use
To set up the tool from right-handed use to left-handed use (or vice versa)
first disassemble the solder collector group. Afterwards, disassemble the
heating element and position it again, inserting the tool pin into the other
hole of the heating element.
To do this, carry out the steps described in the following sections:
Disassembling the Solder-Collector Group
WARNING: Be careful when handling the solder collector and the other spare parts they can be hot. Let them cool down first.
To disassemble the solder-collector group, place the desoldering iron in a horizontal position onto the stand, hold the tool with one hand down onto the stand (1), and grasp the suction hose beside the protective cover (2) …
… and pull upward (3) to undock the protector area. Then undock the frontal gasket (5) from the heating element to disassemble the solder-collector group.
Then undock the frontal gasket (4) from the heating element to disassemble the solder-collector group.

- To control and operate DT530 and the desoldering module, a DDE or DME control unit is needed.
Disassembling the Heating Element
(to change position for right-haded or left-handed use)
WARNING: For this operation, turn off the station or disconnect the tool and wait until the has cooled down to room temperature.
- The solder collector group must be previously detached.
- If the heating element has a tip on, remove it with the provided spanner.
- Loosen the fixing screw.
- Then pull out the heating element
Reassembling the Heating Element
- There are two different assembling positions for the heating element: for left-hand use and right-hand use.
- Assemble the heating element to the handle, making sure that the pin of the tool handle is then inserted into the desired hole at the heating element.
- The possible assembling positions are shown on the illustration.
Once the heating element is in the desired position make sure that it is pushed in.
Note: The metal bushing of the handle must be aligned with the edge of
the heating element (1) for a proper connection.
To fix the heating element in place, tighten the fixing screw.
To reassemble the solder-collector group, follow the instructions on page 7 in
the section “Disassembling the Solder-Collector Group” but in reverse order.
Finally, screw in a desoldering tip.
Operation
Through the Tool Settings of the control unit, it is possible to set and adjust:
- temperature levels (min. and max. operating temperature),
- sleep temperature and the activation delay for Sleep Mode (0-9 minutes or no Sleep),
- and the activation delay for Hibernation Mode (0-60 minutes or no Hibernation).
Desoldering Process
Use a D530 tip with a larger diameter than the diameter of the pin to be
desoldered to achieve maximum aspiration and thermal efficiency
- Placing:
- Circular Movement:
- Aspirating:
Finishing Desoldering
- After releasing the tool button there is a slight delay until the vacuum pump of the desoldering module stops. This makes sure that the tip duct is empty.
- If any solder remains are left after the desoldering process, resolder it with fresh solder and repeat the desoldering operation
Tip Cleaning
Select the option that best suits your needs to clean the tip and improve its
thermal transfer.
Brass Wool CL6210
Very effective cleaning method. Leaves a small layer of solder on the tip
preventing oxidation between cleaning and rewetting.
If the tip is very dirty, JBC recommends cleaning it first with the wiper to
remove excess solder.
Wiper CL7889
The integrated wiper offers different ways to clean the tips.
Changing Tips
This operation should be done while the tip is hot and at a minimum
temperature of 250 °C, so that any tin left inside is still molten,
facilitating the removal of the tip.
- Removing: Use JBC’s spanner to unscrew the tip. The tip will remain attached to the spanner so that it can be moved safely Placing in the Tip Holder Inserting
- Placing in Tip Holder: To remove the tip from the spanner, simply place the tip in one of the holes of the tip storage, screw it in lightly (only aprox. 1 turn) and pull the spanner out.
- Note: Do not screw the tip in too tightly.
- Inserting: Grab the new tip with the spanner. Fit it into the heating element and screw it in with the spanner. Screw the tip in so that the union is air-tight
Compatible Tips
- DT530 uses D530 Tips. Different sizes are available for through-hole desoldering and pad cleaning.

Spare Part Assembly Sequence
Spare parts of the solder-collector group can be replaced when they are
worn.
The following illustration shows the disassembly and reassembly sequence of
the spare parts.
Heat Resistant Gripper
- Disassemble all spare parts from the glass solder collector (the sequence is shown on the previous page).
- It is recommended to use the heat-resistant gripper to handle the solder collector, it could be still hot. The gripper shape adapts perfectly to that of the collector
Cleaning the Glass Solder-Collector
- The provided cleaning brush can be used to push both filters out of the glass tube previous to the cleaning.
- Then clean the glass tube with the cleaning brush. If necessary, use alcohol for stubborn residues.
Reassembling the Solder-Collector Group
- The spare part assembly frequency is shown on the previous page.
- First, insert both filters into the collector (1), and use new filters if necessary.
- Then insert the connector and the rearward gasket into the glass tube on the side of the wool filter (2).
- Push both filters as far as possible against the rearward gasket using the cleaning brush.
Afterwards, insert the frontal gasket into the other side of the glass solder collector (3).
To reassemble the solder-collector group, follow the instructions on page 7 in
the section “Disassembling the Solder-Collector Group” but in reverse order.
Finally, screw in a desoldering tip.
Maintenance
General Maintenance
- Before carrying out maintenance, always unplug the stand and the tool. Allow the equipment to cool down.
- Check periodically that the metal parts of the tool and the stand are clean to ensure detection of the tool when it is in the stand. Use a damp cloth or alcohol for cleaning.
- Periodically check all cables and tube connections.
- The wool, filter and gaskets of the solder collector should be periodically checked and replaced when worn or clogged with solder residues.
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC-authorized technical service.
- Before storing the equipment, remember to tin the tips to prevent oxidation.
WARNING: Do not press the tool button while tinning the desoldering tip, as the fumes given off by the flux would quickly block the ducts and the air filter.
Duct Maintenance
To avoid clogging or pressure loss, carry out regular maintenance on the
tip, solder collectors, gaskets and filters.
