Hello everyone,
I recently ordered a cheap S-998P desoldering pump from aliexpress and had selected the 110V version.
When it arrived I discovered it was just the 220V-240V version with a Type I plug. To make it "110V", they included a Type I to Type B plug adapter.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a difference in the S-998P Circuit Boards between the 110V and 220V versions. Since the circuit board is also used on the S-993 series of desoldering guns.
I'm hoping I can just use the gun as is, without having to get a step-up transformer. But am confused about the differences in voltage spec since on aliexpress some sellers sell separate replacement circuit boards for 110V and 220V specs.
And if it is okay to just use the gun without modification to the power side, can I just chop off the Type I plug and put on a proper Type B plug.
Thank you in advance. Sorry if the above post is hard to read
this situation has been a big stressful although somewhat expected from aliexpress.
