    Re: KSGER STM32 T12 soldering stations

    I measure Ohms between the tip and PE ground and do not run a soldering iron if I get open-circuit.
    Another way is to measure ACV between the tip and PE ground when the PSU is on.

    Safety-wise you are never permitted to lift entry GND, so a 3-prong IEC connector ground is good to use.

    The DC jack input is usually for powering from a 19V laptop brick. Better ones are 3-prong, some with 1MEG resistor to GND.

    The Aixun T3A units seem to be too cheap in quality and the H/W, S/W design is not quite sorted out, so people are complaining about them: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=123458

      KSGER C245 Soldering station PSU 220V only?
      by mkbehbeh
      I purchased this soldering station when it was on sale at amazon. It had a slew of one star reviews, but the price was low enough that even if the controller and PSU were toast, the handle tips and stand were worth more than the price. All of the reviews mentioned that the unit was either DOA, or died on the first use. I looked on Aliexpress and the first clue was that KSGER still sold the 220V version of this station, but all of the 110V versions had been discontinued. I figured That there was a problem with the 110V on the power suppply and the controller would be fine.

      I am...

      Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

      I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

      What soldering station should I purchase for 900M-TJ-I tip?
      by chth96
      hello.
      A few months ago,I have purchased 0.1mm Soldering Iron Tip of below aliexpress link,But I noticed that It is totally impossible to use this 0.1mm iron tip in the T12 soldering station
      https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/4001275635593.html
      Is there any good soldering station which is possible to use 900M-TJ-I tip and have inexpensive or reasonable price in aliexpress?
      Any reply would be appreciated.

      Recommendations of quality soldering station and (separate) hot air station
      by caprider
      Hey,

      I'm looking for some recommendations of a decent quality soldering station and a separate hot air station. I'm just a hobbyist, so even if (ultra)premium tools are not required, I still want some good tools. They should be available in Europe.

      I now have a TS100 and some soldering irons and looking for some better tools.

      1. Soldering station, budget around 200-240€
      JBC BT-2BWA seems to be a good product in the budget.

      2. Hot air station, budget around 200€
      Up to now I've found ATTEN ST-862D to be a good option....

      Yihua 992DA+ Hot air gun and soldering rework station, burnt mark
      by Peter_1402
      Hi Everyone,
      I bought a Yihua 992DA+ hot air gun and soldering iron unit from a used market.
      1. Soldering iron works great
      2. There is a burnt mark on the hot air gun handle.
      I am a bit concern by the look of the melted plastic. I opened the hot air gun handle and took some readings with a multimeter.
      Heating element ~ 75ohm. (Similar reading taken from a spare heating element that came with the unit.)
      Thermocouple ~ 1.5ohm. (Similar reading from the spare heating element.)
      Reed switch tested ok with a magnet.
      From the above test, I can conclude...
