Simple soldering station

Modern imported soldering irons often have an overheating problem. And domestic ones sometimes experience underheating, and it is also observed when the voltage drops. In this article I will tell you how to solve these problems and also make soldering more comfortable. With the help of a soldering station, you can work with large voltage drops, quickly heat up the soldering iron and set any temperature you need. So, let's transgress. I spent a long time searching on the Internet for the simplest diagram of the station. In the end, they all turned out to be rather difficult to implement. It ended up that I came up with my own.
Soldering station diagram:

We will need:
1. Dimer. (any one will do). It is also called a dimmer.
2. Diode bridge.
3. Body. (wooden or plastic box). It is best to buy a ready-made housing from an electrician.
4. Socket.
5. Plug with wire.

Let's start with the dimer. Since the dimer body is very large, I recommend disassembling it, leaving only the circuit itself. The handle can be replaced, as in my case, you can leave the original one.






As a case, I decided to take a box from a Soviet switch.Since there was no lid, I made my own from plywood.



Now you need to assemble everything according to the diagram. Install the socket and plug.




For beauty, I recommend painting the product.




Here's the final result.



I WISH YOU SUCCESS!!!
