100W via TRS 3.5mm connector? I checked and I didn't even find a power rating for these connectors, but that seems excessive.

- zerocrates 2y agoWhere are you seeing a TRS connector? Looks like it's USB-C everywhere to me...
- kwiens 2y agoWe use a TRS connector between the tip and the iron. And yes, it's a lot of amps! It's amazing how versatile a well designed analog connector can be.
- zerocrates 2y agoAh! I was looking around for one: not on the battery pack, not on the iron-to-cable connection, but didn't think about the tips. So you can plug an unused tip into your Walkman's headphone jack for safekeeping...

- fecal_henge 2y agoThe twist is that the TRS is the heating element.
- mrWiz 2y agoWeller uses TRS too. In my experience the connection is a little flaky, but I don’t know the provenance of the lab irons I’ve used; it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve been abused. https://www.weller-tools.com/us/en/industrial-soldering/products/soldering-stations/wx2 https://www.weller-tools.com/us/en/industrial-soldering/prod...
