  • This is a cheap soldering iron 80W. Suddenly stopped working and the repair was quite easy.

    The third pad alongside the positive and neutral connections I guess is for an earth connection which was left out. Add a heavier cable with three pin plug and run an earth connection to the tip to make it safer for the person using it as well as for electrostatic protection.

      I thought about it and i measure the resistance of this cable and is more than enough... (sorry, i don't remember the value now). Earthing is a good idea!

    Wouldn't you think the easy thing to do for these manufactures is to solder the wires on properly. There is also no earth wire to the tip which potentially makes it a leathal weapon.

      Totally agree but apparently there is more than that necessary... After this quick fix it happened soon again the same problem so the best solution i found working so far is hot glue!! (I also added a 1.5A fuse inside the case just to be sure...)
