DON'T BUY CHEAP SOLDERING TIPS!!!

Not All Hot Air Stations Are Same!
Просмотров 100 тыс.Год назад
NOTE: A viewer asked a great question: "Are the stations the same power in WATTS?". The answer: NO. The one with the fan is 700W, and the one with the piston pump is 600W. So the better performing one is actually weaker in WATTS. I completely forgot to say that in the video, I'm sorry. Sorry about not uploading for a while.

This is a relaxed repair video and I wanted to fix a problem that has existed with these headphones since the moment I bought them - they came with no audio connector. I paid 40$ for them and they sound pretty good for that price. Enjoy this simple repair video! I hope I get some real studio speaker monitors some day, so I don't have to completely rely on these.

The soldering iron had the temperature calibration problem. I wanted to compensate a bit, by replacing the original thin cable with a normal 1,5 mm power cable, which could handle and deliver higher and more stable current. Boy, was that a mistake... Enjoy and I'm sorry for recommending a trash product.

    There seems to be some discrepancy between claims, this video claims the higher end Baku is piston driven, but googling and searching for corresponding products I could find the same one both piston, diaphragm, and fan powered with the fan inside the station itself.

    Hello. I'm hoping to make a hot air station. I want to order the 858d pcb for the station. Do you know if it's possible to hook it up with the diaphragm pump heat gun or can I only stick with the fanned heat gun? The fan heat gun comes with the 858d pcb by default on off the shelf rework stations.

    Why should i care about volume of airflow? I want to be heating, not blowing components off the board! Max air is too much on any station. Also "a piston pump will always deliver more volume" is the funniest shit i ever heard. Because this is the design for pressure, not for volume, the 5015 fan does about 10 times the air volume. And most of that pressure is needed in order to overcome the hose air impedance. That being said that airflow is going to be much more consistent, since the small backpressure from the work being near the nozzle or from narrow nozzles isn't going to impress that pump at all, it fought worse on the way there. Also tbh the one with the fan in the handle the real air temperature falls off the cliff if you run too much air.

    @DrHouse-zs9eb 2 месяца назад

    1:06 this sentence is wrong - the opposite is the case. Otherwise you are right of course. But big volume instead of big pressure is always made using a fan, not a piston. The difference clearly comes down to the totally fake "700W" that are maybe 300 at best or the low air volume due to the cone shaped air path (fan hat not enought pressure)

    For such a portable iron I would tolerate the limited power, the battery is a basic physics limitation. But what I won't tolerate is the missing thermostat. Even more when the energy is limited, as it leads to unnecesarily higher battery drain. And more over even when the most expensive hardware for that (the very low Ron mosfet, a microcontroller whose many have ADC capability to evaluate the typical thermocouple output,...) are already there, what is missing is just the code doing the thermostat function...

    An easy test for fir poorly made or counterfeit tips is to put a magnet to them; bad tips will be magnetic at the far back end of the tip whereas good quality tips will only be magnetic at the pointy end where the solder goes ( I posted a video about this on my channel recently). I don't know where you got the idea that cheap, poorly performing tips are made of or coated with aluminum oxide, because in my experience the crappy tips are made of iron or steel and strongly attracted to a magnet along the entire length of the tip. Good quality tips are made of copper for efficient heat transfer but with several different plating materials, and they MUST be plated with iron at the pointy business end *only* because solder and flux would easily dissolve away bare copper and the tips would have a very short lifespan. The rest of the copper tip is usually plated with chrome or some other shiny metal that resists solder and will not wet to it. The extreme pointy end of the tip, however, will be plated with iron because iron will "wet" to solder yet it resists the dissolving effects of flux and molten tin.

    I used ZD-20U (1st one) for 3 years and it died last week. Personally it's quite good for it's price, and also 15sec timeout helps to regulate heat because my old 40W soldering iron doesn't have any temp regulation. Now i have those LCD 60W iron and sometimes i miss ZD-20U. I carried it in my pencil bag sometimes, it's great comfort.

  • @ashscott6068
    @ashscott6068 3 месяца назад

    You have to make sure the inlets for the fan never become blocked with dust. It's happened to me. The element overheats and burns through the mica insulation, then shorts on the metal shroud, so turning it on trips your circuit breaker. Fortunately mica insulation sheets are cheap as dirt, but it's still a problem you can run into. Especially at low fan speeds and if the dust is inside the fan, where you don't notice it. That's really the only reason for pistons. The fan has more air flow than you will ever need. Mine never once went above the 2 on the dial.
