Electronic Goldmine has replacement Irons for the ZD-978 or similar model number this the one that has the sleep function

[sam_sam_sam]

This is a new item at Electronic GoldMine that has arrived within the last few weeks

Here is the link for them I know for sure that it works because ( I tried it on mine soldering station ) I bought two of them and I just bought two more of them so I have some extra replacement ones in my parts bin

Stahl Tools DDDS Replacement Iron for DSDS Stahl Solder Station

One note it will not work for the ZD-917 or similar model number that does not have the sleep function that are the same iron but the plug only has 4 pins and the one that has the sleep function has 6 pins

One other note do NOT be tempted to plug it in the ZD-917 desoldering gun port even though it has 6 pin connector the wiring is NOT configured for this iron you will burn out the sleep function on it ( I know because I tried it once )

I probably should have put this post in the soldering station post section but the reason I did not I want to make sure that people who have this soldering station see this new item from Electronic Goldmine I get email from them all the time and because the cost is $17.95

I have done modifications to my desoldering station on the post before about mine ZD-978
