New Aixun T320 - Any opinions on it? (with inside pics)

[NightSilence]

Do you have link to the seller you bought it from?

I bought the T420D with all 3 handles from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004319789599.html
Some stores offer better shipping deals for different countries too.

it's been mentioned a little, but there's the new T413 now:

i didn't look at it too closely because i sort of don't care. i have a T420D i'm happy with, and i'm guessing this is just another SMPS model plagued by the 'gnd issue'.

however, one thing caught my eye. there will be a new platform they call "225". not sure if this new "T225" handle is included yet or if it comes later as a separate addon (supported by a fw update), but supposedly it can use 4 different cart platforms: C470, C245, C210, and C115. oddly, it seems they will begin selling their own 'compatible' carts as C250, C150, C080, and C030, respectively, instead of using the aforementioned JBC model numbers. i wonder if they're starting to get paranoid, feeling legal heat somehow from JBC, or if this hints at possible incompatibility with genuine JBC carts down the line.

the T225 handle has some extra gimmicks. it looks like it has an accelerometer built in that gives more standby/wake options. there are also buttons on the actual handle itself for changing temp.

I think this is worthy of a new thread, I've created one here with your info: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/aixun-t413-200w-smart-soldering-station-compatible-with-t245t225-handle/new/#new

I bought an original JBC tip from Welectron. 
What a difference.

Just to confirm/clarify, you are using a JBC 245? tip or handle too? with an Aixun T320?  How would you describe the difference?  Thx

Sorry for the delay. Heat transfer to pcb. I only bought the JBC C245-061 tip. Use Aixun handle.

Hi,

after nearly 12 months I got message "handle disconnected". Placing handle back in cradle, temperature is shown again, sometimes I can solder, sometimes not.

I didn't use solder station often during those 12 months. So I would judge quality of handle cable as POOR.      Also difficult to get plug out. I see locking button, but pushing it down doesn't work, I have to use a screw driver in addition.

Luckily I already have a spare handle.
With this one it is easier to get plug out.
And for the moment I can solder.

Bye
Jürgen

What is the thing at the top? Did they want to put QI charger in and then someone used brain?
