You might want to look at SH-72 soldering iron, which is like 10-15$ and has the same dimensions and weight, but has TS-100-style tips, and works from anywhere from 10 to 24 V. So, integrating one with a PD booster circuit and adding an USB-C to it might be fun, and will result in a quite powerful (60W max) soldering iron that heats up fast and has great thermal stability.

Hello! Small issue with the proposed design: add CC1 and CC2 USB C pull down restistors to the port to make it work with usb-c to usb-c wire!
@KixYT
Жыл бұрын
Agree. The JRC--b008 board will work with regular USB type A chargers. But if you want to use a USB type C smart charger with PD it won't work without the CC1 and CC2 pull down resistors. Because of the faulty wiring of the JRC--b008 it is hard to add resistors to it without doing some very small and precise modifications. In that case I suggest getting a USB type C board that features the CC1 and CC2 pinout or a board that have the resistors on the board.

Now my kit has a PD powerbank that serves the iron, the miniware scope if it needs it, my kirby soldering fume extractor and a small adjustable supply (up to 12v).

I like the design and the idea of upgradeing electronics to support USB C. But theres only a small problem with using the JRC--b008 USB type C board. The board will only work with basic chargers and not smart chargers with PD. Soldering on a resistor won't work because the board is wired incorrectly and will require modifications where you would have to cut some of the internal connections on the PCB. I would recommend using a USB type C board that have CC1 and CC2 pinouts or even better a board that come with the 5.1k resistors.

I looked at modifying one of these a few years ago. The 8W is barely enough for anything and the temp gets way up above 400C, so overvolting it and constantly measuring the element resistance for temperature control was my intention for making it more usable. Up at 12V you’d get maybe 45W, for which a barrel jack or USB C PD input could work. Then it’s just a cheap 8-bit micro and a FET. But the tip quality and fitment method was so bad I didn’t bother.

3.5mm is a horrendous pick for a power connector, especially when connected to a high-tech device like a computer, because when you insert it the contacts between each pair (tip-ring, ring-sleeve) are momentarily shorted. TS100-style irons with the plug-in tips get around this shortcoming with their tips by extending the nonconductive area (analogous to the black plastic rings on 3.5mm phone plugs) long enough to avoid this. Neat project.
