Pin Configuration

  • 60W Soldron Replacement Soldering Iron Documentation
  • Overview
  • The 60W Soldron Replacement Soldering Iron is a drop-in replacement for various Soldron soldering stations, including models 936, 960, 878, and 740. This iron is designed to provide reliable and efficient soldering performance, with a 60W power output and a durable construction.
  • Pinout Description
  • The soldering iron has a 6-pin connector that mates with the corresponding connector on the Soldron soldering station. Each pin has a specific function, as described below:
  • Pinout Structure:
  • | Pin # | Function | Description |
  • | --- | --- | --- |
  • | 1 | VCC | Power supply input (24V DC) |
  • | 2 | GND | Ground connection |
  • | 3 | THERM | Thermocouple signal output |
  • | 4 | HEAT | Heating element control input |
  • | 5 | SENSE | Temperature sensing input |
  • | 6 | ID | Identification pin ( Reserved for future use) |
  • Pin-by-Pin Explanation:
  • 1. VCC (Pin 1): This pin provides the power supply input to the soldering iron. The recommended input voltage is 24V DC, which is supplied by the Soldron soldering station.
  • 2. GND (Pin 2): This pin serves as the ground connection for the soldering iron. It provides a return path for the power supply and helps to ensure safe operation.
  • 3. THERM (Pin 3): This pin outputs the thermocouple signal, which indicates the temperature of the soldering iron tip. The thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device built into the iron, and its output is monitored by the soldering station to regulate the heating element.
  • 4. HEAT (Pin 4): This pin receives the heating element control input signal from the soldering station. The soldering station uses this signal to control the power to the heating element, thereby regulating the temperature of the soldering iron tip.
  • 5. SENSE (Pin 5): This pin serves as the temperature sensing input for the soldering iron. It is connected to the thermocouple or other temperature-sensing device within the iron, providing feedback to the soldering station about the current temperature.
  • 6. ID (Pin 6): This pin is reserved for future use and currently has no defined function. It should not be connected to any circuitry.
  • Connection Guidelines:
  • To connect the 60W Soldron Replacement Soldering Iron to a compatible Soldron soldering station:
  • 1. Ensure the soldering iron is turned off and the soldering station is disconnected from power.
  • 2. Align the 6-pin connector on the soldering iron with the corresponding connector on the soldering station.
  • 3. Insert the connector and secure it firmly to prevent accidental disconnection.
  • 4. Verify that the pins are correctly aligned and seated properly.
  • 5. Reconnect the power cord to the soldering station and turn it on.
  • 6. The soldering iron should now be operational and ready for use.
  • Caution:
  • Always follow proper safety precautions when working with soldering irons and electronic components.
  • Ensure the soldering iron is properly connected to the soldering station and that the pins are not damaged or bent.
  • Avoid overheating or misuse of the soldering iron, as this can lead to damage or injury.
