JBC T245 vs T210 pinout

[SurprisingRice]

Hi,
I recently bought this item. https://www.unionrepair.com/tec-extension-module-with-holder-for-jbc-soldering-station.html

Its a extension unit for a standard JCB station. It allows the user to have two irons from one station. In my case, I have a T245 tip as my main iron, and i wanted a T210 iron as my secondary. I did not read the little "NOTICE" before i bought the unit and realised too late that I cannot use a T245 tip with a T210 tip in this TEC Extension unit.

When I do, the T210 tip works fine. but the T245 tip doesn't heat up, when the station says its 345 degrees, aswell as randomly saying there's a ground fuse error.

So I got to thinking, the only difference between both tips is that pin 6 (the center pin) on the T245 iron doesn't exist, but on the T210 iron it does exist. Could I just plug that pin 6 up and insulate it?

To those of you who made their own JBC iron controllers, could you comment on what I could do here regarding connector modification, or TEC extension module modification?

Thanks,
Greg

I figured it out. pin 6 indicates to the station that the tool needs 12v not 24.

I will insulate pin 6, and use a buck converter to turn 24v into 12v from the TEC Extension for the t210 handle.

Hi,

same problem to solve over here. I also haven't read the "notice"...
Does it work with the buck converter?

Kind regards,
