110v Soldering Station Build No. 2 April 22, 2016, 05:28:01 am This project is build number 2 of a 110v temperature controlled soldering station. It is a follow-up post to the project that I was working on last October.Blog post with complete details here:https://pcbsmoke.wordpress.com/2016/04/ ... uild-no-2/ This version has a couple of improvements over the first build. This new soldering iron is a better unit and was less expensive than the first one.[attachment=4]A chisel tip plus a selection of other tips was available for this soldering iron instead of being limited to a conical tip only.[attachment=3]This new soldering iron includes a ground wire which made it possible for a grounded connection.[attachment=2]Like the first version, a thermocouple was mounted internally inside the soldering iron and the power cord was replaced with a flexible multi-conductor cord and a 4-pin DIN connector.[attachment=1]The thermocouple was adjusted so that the tip temperature matched the thermocouple reading making it unnecessary to require any temperature offset adjustment in the controller.[attachment=0]This is an easy project that requires only basic skills to build and it makes a pretty good shop tool. It’s performance is on par with similar commercially available units. Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
