Literally all the cheap soldering irons (Miniware TS80/100/etc, Pinecil) use a 3.5mm jack for their tips. These look incompatible, though, with those designs, which is a shame.



The Pinecil nor TS100 definitely do not take 3.5mm jack tips but I see that the TS80 does. Thanks, never seen that before. I still don't trust putting 100W through it though!


My mistake on that. Yeah, guess it’s only the TS80 series. Either way, it’s been used. But they seem incompatible. Also, it’s gonna be the current that kills you. If they’re running higher voltages it probably isn’t an issue.
