DSE T2000 T2200 Soldering stations.

<< < (3/4) > >>

Willem:
Psi, I recon your T2250 must be using a different tip. The T2000 and T2200 are using the same tips that look like the picture insert.
They should have a raised shoulder in the mid-section, where yours is flush along the length of the tip...
I can see why the T2250 is simular to the Hakko 900M, but not sure if it will work for the T2000/T2200 as the tip holder won't be able to lock down "shoulder-less" tips I think.
I recon we will have to get it from Xytronic:
They also have your Iron: http://www.xytronic-usa.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=8&page=1&sortby=
According to this site, the T2250 is branded the Xytronic 169D OR is it 137ESD?
I might be that the pencil part of the iron is different to the DSE one... open for discussion

Psi:
Yeah, that's different.
There must have been a TIP change between the 2200 and 2250

Psi:
Xytronic 169D definitely looks the same

I can confirm that the DSE T2000 (and others) was made by Xytronics in Taiwan.

Any where that a connection is made, a soldering station is needed - creating a worldwide market for XYTRONIC product. Ninety percent of XYTRONIC product is exported with major customers in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and Western Europe.
Approximately 50% of the production is sold under the XYTRONIC logo while the remainder is sold on ODM or OEM basis. Currently, the company supplies such major corporations as Philips N.V. and Smith of Australia under private label arrangements. XYTRONIC's happy customer list includes IBM, Logitech, Taiwan Delta, General Instruments, Digital Equipment Corp., Siemens, Hewlett Packard and more.......

Personally, I need new tips and a new element would be nice too. The info I was looking at is all in Chinese but since  I don't speak (or read) Chinese then it becomes very difficult to communicate with them.

I suspect that Xytronics in the US is/was just their US agent and I think that we could get the product direct from Taiwan without the horrendous US freight charges.

The Dick Smith soldering stations were difinately made by Xytronics of Taiwan because their name is on the printed circuit board.  So I guess this mystery is resolved.
