Hi all.
A while back I was given a very dead Ya Xun 878D+ rework station, the kind that has a fixed hot air gun and a removable iron with the 5 pin socket.
It was a fairly straightforward repair and has been working well, but one thing has bugged me was that the hot air gun couldn't be disconnected, so I bought an 8 pin socket and plug set in order to resolve this.
Yesterday, after stripping it down and cutting the wires, it dawned on me that there is probably a 'standard' as to which wires are connected to which of the 8 pins?
Obviously, I can wire any wire I want, to any connector and it will work just fine, HOWEVER... who the fuck knows where this unit will be in the future and IF someone else (who doesn't know what I have done) buys a replacement heater gun, then it will likely cause some major damage.
So... does anyone have any info regarding the 8 pin socket wiring?
