Re: PCB's and SMD
That works.
Don't think that it is proprietary. The clone that someone made
didn't seem to have a proprietary FET. I've got three of the things

Re: Soldering Stations
Someone else on the other forum recommended one of these too. Maybe I will get one later on if I see a sale. Looks quite portable.

Re: Soldering Stations
The TS-100 will take up to 24V. The original idea, I think, was all of those 19V 3A laptop powerbricks out there.
