  • The temperature controller regulates the power to the heating element to maintain the desired temperature.
  • 4. THERMISTOR (Pin 4): Thermistor Feedback
  • This pin connects to a thermistor (temperature sensor) that monitors the soldering iron's temperature.
  • The thermistor provides feedback to the temperature controller, which adjusts the heating element's power accordingly.
  • Ensure the thermistor is properly connected and configured for accurate temperature measurement.
  • 5. LED (Pin 5): Temperature Indicator LED
  • This pin connects to an LED indicator that displays the soldering iron's temperature status.
  • The LED typically illuminates when the soldering iron reaches the set temperature or during temperature variations.
  • Connect the LED to a suitable power source and configure the temperature controller to drive the LED accordingly.
  • Connection Guidelines:
  • 1. Ensure proper insulation and secure connections to prevent electrical shock or damage to the soldering iron.
  • 2. Use suitable wire gauges and connectors to handle the maximum current rating of the soldering iron (25W).
  • 3. Verify the power source and temperature controller are compatible with the soldering iron's specifications.
  • 4. Consult the temperature controller's documentation for specific connection and configuration guidelines.
  • 5. Use a thermistor with a suitable temperature range and accuracy for precise temperature measurement.
  • By following these guidelines and understanding the pin functions, you can properly connect and utilize the AC230V 25W Soldering Iron for your soldering applications.
