Yes would be interested in the exact part number.
It looks a lot better quality than the run of the mill 128x64 OLED displays kicking around on ebay.
cheers

I think it's one of these.
My 10 x T12 tips arrived today along with an aluminum handle kit, does anyone have the wiring schematic for that handle so that it works for the 5-pin KSGER T12 system?
Gandalf_Sr:
I put my aluminum handle together this morning, I copied the exact wiring of my working plastic handle just like shown in the pictures here and I used the same T12 tip but it doesn't work, it just says ERROR on the display and the tip doesn't get warm.
There's a small component in my aluminum handle that looks like a small black bead capacitor that I presumed is the thermistor to sense ambient and I don't think that has polarity, in the linked pictures it looks like a small glass-encapsulated diode but the other component marked SW200D is definitely the tilt switch (mine was a glass capsule like a neon bulb with mercury inside) so this must be the thermistor - it goes between 1 and 4 (white and black).
I've included pictures. The black part with the 3 lugs is the old plastic (working) handle, the white one is the new one that goes into the aluminum handle.
Any ideas?
[EDIT 1] I spun the tip around in the handle and it started working, it's a bad connection inside the white terminal hub.
[EDIT 2] I did a more detailed investigation and found that the T12 tips weren't going all the way in due to lumps in the plastic molding. I 'fixed' that by performing a lumpectomy and now the T12-K tip that came with the soldering station seems to work perfectly but a smaller tip used on the new aluminum handle still flashes "ERROR" periodically as the tip tries to heat up but that "ERROR" isn't there at all on the blue plastic handle. Think it's time to whine at Banggood

I've just been doing a soldering job this morning on a T0220 FET mounted on a PCB that has a vertical heat sink which is already attached to the FET. The 2 irons I used were the Hakko FX-951 (set to 345C) and the KSGER T12 (set to 300C). On the S and D pins, the Hakko could barely melt the solder even after 10 seconds or so, the KSGER hit the pad and the solder flowed fully within a second or so.

Did you do a calibration on KSGER? Measure the temperature of the sting? Does it coincide with the indicator readings?

I bought two pre-built aluminium handles as recommended by Defpom. The problems I found was that the rubber grommets in the neck of the handle tend to be quite sticky so I suggest you spray some lubricant such as CRC 2-26 down the shaft so the tips can easily be inserted and removed. The second handle did not work with an ERROR displayed on the screen. When I unscrewed the top part of the handle and inserted the tip directly into the contact barrel it worked ! What I found was the rubber grommets were not inserted far enough into the barrel at the top and so the tip did not make proper contact. Easily fixed with the blunt end of a suitable sized drilled pushing the grommets in as far in as possible. Now both are working properly ;)

I've been busy with work so I haven't had the chance to do much more investigation on the aluminum handle. The second KSGER STM32 V2.01 arrived and it's identical to the first one, it too had a completely dead CR2032 battery but it works fine otherwise. I contacted Banggood and they offered me a $10 refund which I accepted.
