Using TS-100 tips
01-26-2022, 07:29 AM
Hi,
I tried a TS-100 tip in my Pinecill today as I'd read they were compatible but it didn't seem to work correctly, it started to heat up but the tip temp. was reading over 300 Degrees C when it was probably only around 70 or so and the wattage was really low as if it had stopped heating because it had reached temperature ... but it hadn't.
I checked the resistance of the tip between the two connection rings and it was just under 10 ohms, when I tested the continuity between the top ring, nearest the tip, and the tip body it was a short circuit on the TS-100 tip but open circuit on the Pinecil original tip.
Anyone have any ideas what the issue is, should it be connected to the tip body?
Cheers
