I’ve had my heart set on an AiXun T420D for a couple years now but I haven’t been able to save the money. I really wasn’t expecting issues like the DIN mismatch from a soldering station that costs so much. If this is what you get from a dual channel JBC clone, maybe it is better to go with a used single channel JBC after all.
For the T115 6-pin vs 7-pin: I just checked on my model and my right-side base holder does have a 6-pin female connector to connect to the 6-pin male connector of the T115 handle. I did have an issue with Aixun at first where they sent a different tip-cleaner than I ordered (I received the metal bristle thing instead of the brass wire with splash guard). It took a bit of back and forth with Aixun, and at first they sent the wrong part (the white plastic connector to join the two handle holders), but after I sent them pictures circling and pointing to what was missing they sent the right part. I'm pretty sure the problem is due to computer translation from English to Chinese.
Thankyou that helps a lot ! So it was the station not the handle that was the issue ! I did suspect that but as you say sometimes the communication is a problem
I love repair and modding videos, but I don't subscribe to channels that predominantly feature tool reviews. I normally just search for reviews when I need one.
@bobweiram6321 Thanks Bob! My channel will be a repair channel but I am completely new to this and had no tools to start any repairs I'm just getting set up I am just sharing my journey as I go
I have a new T420D and it shipped with a 115 handle with 7 pin. Glad I didn't have to deal with this.
Drill for the 7th pin. I am using this way on the t380. By the way t115 has 20k resistance on pin 1 and 7th. 7 is middle

@emmettturner9452 I couldn't justify the JBC as I'm only new to soldering but after the issues are sorted I'm happy with this station in the end !
You can remove the pins by desoldering the pin and pushing it out of the housing.
I needed a soldering iorn to fix my soldering iorn 😅
@@JFIXX1 lol .Couldnt you used the C245 section to unsolder it?
@@Miknow good point! 😅 I took the easy option as I have never done any soldering before

can you mod this soldering station to use t12 handle,thanks
@Crysistx22 I'm not sure I don't have one to experiment with but maybe someone in chat might know and reply
