939D+ Extension Cord
« on: December 10, 2024, 05:06:10 pm »
Hi All,
I'm a hobbyist that tinkers with electronics, wood, metal, cars, microcontrollers, and any other sort of item.  My old soldering iron finally had too many melted spots in the cord that I got poked from, so I decided to order a 939D+.  I like the station, but the cord for the iron is so short, it makes it awkward working on my bench.  I was thinking of making up an extension cordset, but I'm at a loss finding the connectors.  I was stumbling around Digikey and have not found what looks like the connector yet.  Does anyone know what the connector is?  Is there any reason I should NOT do this?

Looking at photos online it seems to be standard GX16 or maybe GX12 5 pin.
Easily available from aliexpress.

You'll have to measure the connector to see what diameter it is.

Thanks for the assistance.  Those sure look correct.  I'll have to measure these when I get home and see what it is.

Based on measurement, its the GX16.  One on the way.  Now to find some decent wire for the extension...

Thanks again.
