Olá.
Looking for some help clarifying something.
I have a Tenma (Farnell-rebranded) 21-10115 solder station which recently burnt out the ceramic element.
The station is 60W / 28 volts, 110v.
Right now I'm in Brazil and finding an equivalent element has proved to be not possible, so today I bought a 'Yaxun' 50W 24v iron in the hope that it would work.
Both irons have a five pin plug.
The Tenma had pins 1 & 2 and pins 4 & 5 shorted with pin 3 being the ground. No means of measuring the temperature.
The Yaxun had the two element wires plus two sensor wires along with the ground.
After doing the relevant iron rewiring however, the Yaxun just keeps heating up until it glows red and only displays 65 or so degrees Celcius.
Even though it had no sensor wires the Tenma used to accurately display the temperature of the iron.
What can I do to stop this going into meltdown?
The new element measures 11.9Ω
Even though the other is burnt I think it was around 14Ω
Any ideas as to how this iron can be used with this station?
How could the station measure the temperature and how can that be imitated?
