DeSoldering Power Supply ReCap Bran New

[sam_sam_sam]

I have one of these De-Soldering station already but the pump is NOT pumping like it did when I bought it so I bought a new

When I went to change De-Soldering station the new one it is allot lighter than the old one because the old one has a transformer

I had to open it up and find out why the new one has a switching power supply with Sancon caps in it they got replaced with FR and FC caps

It is very hard to get part for this De-Soldering station so I did not want to wait for one of those cap to take a crap

The power supply is 18 volts @ 12.8 amps this not a misprint

( 2 ) 2200 uf @ 25 volts
( 1 ) 470 uf @ 25 volts
( 2 ) 10 uf @ 25 volts
( 1 ) 150 uf @ 400 Volts

Re: De-Soldering Power Supply Re-Cap Brand New

When I bought the De-Soldering Station new before I re-cap it when you plug in the wall and push the power button it power ON for a second then power OFF then power ON it would do this about 2 or 3 time then it would stay on
as long as you did not unplug it from the wall it would not do this

When I recap it, it has done the same thing as above

Now that it has gotten cooler it dose this every time when you first turn it ON after it has been ON for a minute it will run the way it should every time after that you can turn it ON and OFF all you want and it will turn ON the way it should

What could be wrong this power supply This De-Soldering Station dose have a micro controller in it

Hi Sam_Sam_Sam,
I have the same de-soldering unit and I currently have my shop in my garage.
I was out here all winter and when the temperature dropped that's when my DS Station started that on-off-on-off-on-off (..for about 10 min) every time I turned it on until it finally started up properly. Now that the temperature outside is in the 60's/70's it doesn't do it more than once or twice before it starts. I don't have a solution for it yet or a diagnositc but I write this as a caviat for those considering buying one of these. They come in many guizes and manufacturer names but they're all the same Chinese crud.
It's worked for the most part pretty well with good suction for about a year but mine cracked at that base where the iron meets the gun (Plastic) weak point. Glue and a zip-strip solved that temporarily but I was still surprised at how cheap this thing actually is.
I got mine at M.P. Jones ( ..the have tons of webpages with different names on line. The entire first page of Google returns when the gun in googled) and when I bought it I asked about a warranty. When the sales person stopped laughing she checked with her manager and reported that they would warranty it for 6. months! (..there goes the whole reputable in reputable sellers. When the company won't even give you a year warranty on what they sell you know something is SERIOUSLY WRONG) Anyway, I was glad I got that and bought one anyway. Nice folks but hey, can't they make one of these in America any more?!! I'm pretty sure it'd be better quality. Same goes for damn near EVERYTHING we get from China now days. I say STOP BUYING IF IT"S MADE IN CHINA.
DEMAND the ol' MADE IN U.S.A be there before purchasing ANYTHING.
Anyway, (again) any and all repairs on these things is probably a step up in quality.
I can't even get a replacement gun now that mines broken as they're "Out of Stock".
Gotta love it. The essence of "Fly by night".

Re: DeSoldering Power Supply ReCap Bran New

Any prices for the standalone soldering irons? Looks like he has some with ceramic heaters. My 60W Chinese iron stopped working some time ago. Definitely worth the $6 I spent on it though, got some great use out of it. I've never seen such a skimpy mains plug.
