Weller 8200 soldering tool LED Mod

Ғылым және технология

When I saw how expensive a replacement bulb for the old Weller is I decided to install an LED instead. Quite easy and it works well. I just used parts I already had laying around so there was no need to wait for parts to arrive from the other side of the world.

    The newer versions of this soldering gun use the push in style 12vdc (194) bulb. If you take 3, 5mm LED's and wire them in series, two under one over, giving a triangle shape, you can have an excellent result. You can use a small piece of rubber to hold the two remaining LED leads against the contacts in the original bulb socket. Leads can be inserted either way. You can insulate the led terminals, and simultaneously create a solid piece using 2 part epoxy glue. No resistors or capacitors are necessary, and the lights work fine on both temperature settings.☼☺☼ Update 9.24.2021 I found that the LED's will burn out after a few months, if you add a 150 ohm 1/4 watt resistor to one of the leads, the problem should be resolved. ☺

    De cuántos ohm seria la bobina primaria para q la pistola sea de 100 wats con alambre 26? .

    The primary measures around 20Ω DC using my Fluke 87. The AC resistance/impedance at 100W would be around 145Ω .

    is weller original wedge light bulb using DC OR AC voltage ?

    The original bulb uses AC. There is a winding that supplies about 2 volts AC for it. Not enough to light a white LED with a forward voltage of about 3V. That is why this one needs to run from the 120V with the dropper cap. My Weller D550 has the 2 bulbs in series and does have enough voltage for 3V white LEDs: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pa5rr62RndzNdrQ.html
