I open a similar HP power brick and on the pcb it print (Vout) (ID) (Gnd) I think the ID line (identification) for communication between the laptop and the charger So the information at 8:17 not correct
I don't know, I don't have one to compare. If you have one you can look at the kit instructions (link in video description) which has the pinout of the plug used. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
Hi , I want to convert my 30 year old 4 wire station over to these T12 hand pieces but having trouble finding the info what the tip is needing as yours only really has 3 wires not counting the vibration device , cheers Brett
Hi Brett, personally I would just build a new iron, you can never have too many!! Here is a link to a homemade controller for th T12 : www.hackster.io/sfrwmaker/soldering-iron-controller-for-hakko-t12-tips-on-arduino-f7a888 You may also find this interesting: th-cam.com/video/V0lwp9uVCn8/w-d-xo.html
hi 1nformatica. i have a cheap chinese hakko solderin iron. i already know the pinouts of the soldering iron like the heating element, thermocoupler and the esd/gnd. i purchased a mini stc t12 temperature control board only. not the whole kit. my question is how do you determine the five pinouts on the board itself. please help me.
You can find the pinout in this ZIP file : drive.google.com/file/d/0B3eV4bPQuuyTX1RrNnZKYmY0b1E/view Please consider subscribing if you haven't done so already!!
@@1nformatica just to verify the middle (red) - and + are the pinouts for the heating element and the upper pinouts (black) are for the thermocouple? thanks again. i already subscribed.
i almost forgot. the temperature control board also came with a vibration switch. do i connect this in series with one of the lines of the thermocouple or the heating element? and what line + or -?
The tips I put links to from Banggood are genuine Hakko tips. I have used all of them without any problem. The tips arrived in Hakko branded sealed plastic sleeves marked Made in Japan.
Hey, man... How's everything there? Horrible things happened in there and I'm really sorry for all that. :/ But it's always great to watch new videos from you. :)
Obrigado Mario. Yes, the world has gone mad but we must not let these incidents scare us. That's just what the people that perpetrate these crimes want. Looking forward to your next video, what will you set fire to?!
1nformatica I completely agree, my friend! :) About my next video, it was going to be a hot wire cutter + pyrography tool... The hot wire cutter worked as a charm, the pyrography not so much. :/ But the video is finished, edited and ready for Thursday. Including the problems I faced. :)
t12, t100 and t80 vs old school soldering irons, the advantages i see are the fast and precise temperatures but there is not perfect soldering iron, a soldering station ( no matter brand or model ) can work perfectly depending on the skill of the person that is using it and that is the opinion of a person that even craft his own flux and care for each detail on the soldering mask of each circuit, of course technology makes our lives easier and i love it
Thanks for commenting. I agree completely! Each of my irons, even the antique ones have their uses. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
Looks like a great deal on a fairly good soldering unit, I have been looking for an upgrade to my tired old unit for some time. Perhaps if they still have it available when I return in the Spring I may order one.
Hi Jerry, I was in a similar situation when I decided to try this kit. I have been a staunch Weller man for some 40 years but I am more than happy with the performance of this iron. Heats up quickly, more stable temperature fully adjustable and the tip / element can be swapped out in a moment. Why wait till spring!!
Thing is, I am down in Arizona, living in our 35 foot Class A Motorhome in a small RV Park. We don't have a lot of extra room to store such an item, and my Ebay Account shipping address is our Sticks and Bricks home in South Dakota. So if I ordered it, it would be sent there, and I would not get to play with it till May when we return to the frozen north country (After the snow is gone, thank you) So until then, I don't do a lot of soldering down here as all my boards and components are back in Dakota, all I do down here is perhaps solder a new end on my Ham radio antenna. For quick fixes I have a little 5 volt USB iron that I plug into a power bank, quick heat and she is usually enough for small fixes. For larger needs I do have a regular 110 volt pencil type iron with a temp regulator on the side that does a nice job, has interchangable tips and such, it resides in an overhead bin on the rig and I get it down when I need more heat for longer things.
Good idea to migrate during the cold season. I was in Phoenix some years ago and the climate was great a little like where I am now in Southern Spain! Many spaghetti westerns were filmed around here and we have the only official desert in Europe! ¡Felices fiestas!
❤ Hi sir im from Pakistan . Sir how many dc volt is batter for this soldering station . I have an one laptop charger, which output is 19.5 volt . Is this volt correct for this soldering station ❤❤❤❤
Yes, that will be OK The station will work up to 24volts. It should be able to supply 3 Amps for 40W of power to the iron. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@humkontay6296 If the current is 2.5 Amps or higher you will get about 45 Watts power for the iron. Test for your needs. If not enough power you will need higher voltage. There is a chart of the power at the end of the building instructions. Link to this is in the video description. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
I've been wanting to convert my clone FX936 to the T12/T15 style handle but haven't been able to find ones cheap, this just might work. I doubt the pinouts will match but I think it uses a similar setup. Thanks for the great video!
Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment! Is this what you are looking for? bit.ly/T12Handle Watch me build a LED cube with 153 LEDs here!! th-cam.com/video/2ISpGZ42VFg/w-d-xo.html
That's a really great looking kit and not so expansive as others I've been seeing. My big problem with soldering irons is that you can't leave it on for 1 minute while prepare the next solder that the tip starts to corrode and then you have to waste a lot of lead in its tip to recover the good condition. :/ That's really frustrating.
Interesting, it seems to me the iron I see you use does not have very good temperature control. Also how do you clean between joints? Damp sponge or wire? Some iron tips have very thin iron plating. Once the plating is damaged the soft copper exposed will disintegrate quickly. Think you need one of these kits!!
1nformatica Oh, no... My soldering iron is a cheap one, goes straight into the power outlet... The tip must be only copper and lead/tin. About sponge and wire, I use only wire. It cleans very well and don't remove the lead/tin of it completely. (If it happens you'd have to change the tip.)
Thanks! The kit will work from 12 volts to 24 volts so no problem using a laptop supply. It takes only around 20 seconds to heat to 300C and stabilize.
Good point Mike! In my case it was a super little 15 watt Antex iron given on my 10th birthday by my parents. Afterwards at about 15 I worked for a friend's father assembling alarm systems which used Mullard Norbit logic modules. His wife who worked at an MOD establishment taught me to solder and gave me a Weller 45 Watt iron I still have to this day! Happy memories!!
wow you got the functional version. I had to replace the power transistor on mine for stable readings and tutorials were russian only. love your videos. thumbs up

The information is correct for this older power supply as it has no ID wire just plus and minus.

Thank you for your kind feedback. It is a great iron I use mine every day.
good video. just what i was looking for. just cant find the full kit. keep up good work.
