Yihua 937D vs Zhaoxin 936D Soldering Station: Comparing User Experiences for Home & Project Use

Hello.
I have already read a lot about these 2 companies on the electrode, but there is no comparison of these 2 specific station models anywhere.
Both stations cost more or less the same on the Allegro - below the link:

Yihua

Zhaoxin

I would like to know which one, according to users, is better. Because it's good cheap junk from China, I've already found out, but I don't have any more money. I need a station for home use and for soldering a master's project (most through-hole - at most 2 smd elements). I have already gone through this process doing an engineering project - I had the cheapest allegro station borrowed for PLN 40. And still, I would like something better if I have to buy it, and the choice is not very wide.

I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Both are of the same quality and parameters - so which one do you like more?

Zhaoxin looks better

Personally, I prefer and use transformer soldering irons (without ESD they are cheaper).

But ESD is sometimes necessary, it's better just not to risk it.
I have used both. Zhaoxin gives information about the reached temperature by beep, in Yihua there is no this. I use the 937D + model, but these are similar designs, the only difference is that mine has a Japanese Hakko ceramic heater.

However, when it comes to the workmanship and its quality, Zhaoxin looks better and I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Solid, compact housing, well finished. The stock is also unqualified, relatively high power. In my opinion, there is probably no better station for these coins if someone wanted more detailed photos, I will send them in this topic, but first I would have to dig into them on the disk.

pawlus1233A what about the replacement of the entire stock with a wire in the Zhaoxin 936D, there is no such stock with such a plug anywhere.

If there is no such thing as on Allegro, for example:

3.1.18. (10.11) It is forbidden to publish information for sources that expire after a certain time (publication of links to pages of a short-term nature). [Rubens]

The fact that the plug is metal does not mean that the socket is different because it is the same, i.e. CB 5p.
Here you can see exactly what the socket is:

In fact, the pin itself, which goes into the socket of the station, is plastic, while the cable clamp is metal :)

I see that my colleague pawlus1233 helped
I bought a zhaoxin 936D. Quite well made, the stock is very light.
The display shows nicely how the temperature rises. And it heats up very quickly. I bought it at programatory.com.pl for PLN 99 - 2-year warranty.

Regards and thank you for the answers

With the right skill, anyone will do.
I also bought a 1.2 mm pointed (it is slightly flattened - but before that I soldered it with quite a pointed one). I usually solder it so that I put the tip to the track (or the legs) and after a while I put a thin alloy that flows nicely around the leg of the element. Thanks to this, I have a perfect February and it is going very fast. With the right original skill, it can be done without any problems, but it is better to always have a thicker one, because it is more convenient, and the original one, which comes with the soldering iron, is very thin.
This is exactly what I bought a tip with the symbol: T-1.2D

If these tips were a bit cheaper, I would probably buy more and test them.
I could then say a little more about it

Hello, I also have a zhaoxin 936D soldering iron just bought today and I have one fundamental question. I will say this to this soldering iron, I bought 2 additional tips and when I put on one of them - exactly 1.2mm flattened - the soldering iron is freaking out, i.e. the display shows some 5-E red LED somehow does not light up and the temperature knob does not react very well. who will tell me what's going on ??

Hello. I have the same, I have the inscription 5-E on the original tip and so every time I turned it on .. I corrected the butt of the butt and nothing ... I still have the same alarm and the soldering iron does not heat up.

Maybe some practitioner has a soldering iron comparison:
WEP:
- WEP 936 (PLN 65)
- WEP 937D (78 PLN)
- WEP 936A (85 PLN)
- WEP 937D + (109 PLN)
Zhaoxin:
- Zhaoxin 936A + (PLN 87)
- Zhaoxin 936D (109 PLN)

You can find them all here:
http://allegro.pl/listing/user.php/run?change_view=1&order=p&p=8&us_id=5553485
and directly on the website:
http://www.hotair.pl/

Personally, I have heard the most generally positive opinions about the Zhaoxin 936d.
My budget is ~ 150 PLN for the station + 2-3 caves + delivery.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I had the Zhaoxin 936D and replaced it with the Yihua 937D + because of the Japanese hakko heater.
Both stations are generally okay for the money. Cheap tips, fast heating, Zhaoxin looked better made, but in my opinion it did not hold the same temperatures as Yihua.

Regards

i don't use these stations but i think both are more or less on the same level. quality / price comparable I suppose.

Hello.
I would not like to start a new topic, and I have a question about the soldering iron itself.
I would like to make a soldering station on the PID temperature controller BTC 9090 , plus a 24V transformer (I have about 120VA). But what good flask to choose? The regulator has inputs for most thermo sensors, so it is universal. The heating of the flask will be switched on via the CRYDOM 5A ssr relay I would like it to have quite a lot of power and with a good heating element. I know that there are a lot of topics, but I couldn't find anything specific.

Is the PID controller powered by 24V? Will the SSR also have a 24V output? It is very important if you think about buying a soldering iron, which, by the way, is mostly for this voltage.

No, the PID controller is powered by 230V, its SSR output is 12Vdc, but this is not important, because the butt heater will be powered from the 24Vac transformer through the ssr relay

gentlemen - a little bit different. I have such equipment:



is it good for something? I have it in my wardrobe and I don't know - garbage can or something else?

WEP 937D pins 1 and 2 are a heater with a resistance of 15 ohms. Pin 3 is the protection of pins 4 and 5 is a resistance of about 1 ohm at room temperature because it is an ntc thermistor, and it is it that causes the soldering station to start, other resistance is not an option. Checked if there is a 5-E error, the error is only related to the heater resistance. Unfortunately, I had to buy a new one, but the problem was over, which means that I could not cheat the processor and if I did, the soldering station had different temperatures and I could not control them and manage it. The voltage on the triac is 26 volts (alternating), activated with a negative gate current, it is a voltage sufficient to start the stock.

I confirm, in my WEP 898D this error appears both after disconnecting the stock and after connecting another stock (I have a Hakko stock, which unfortunately does not work with this station). Like the previous speakers, I suppose the different heater resistance makes the difference.

Hello, error 5-E means that the buttstock is missing, I put the buttstock damaged.

I don't want to post a new topic, so I'll ask in this thread. I have a Zhaoxin 936D station and was looking for a spare buttstock for this station. In the well-known auction site, the stock for the 937D station costs PLN 19. and up to 936D PLN 40. From what I read on the electrode, these stations are similar, they differ in the butt plug and the fact that in the 936D you can change the C / F temperature display. If that was the case, I was thinking about buying a 937D stock and replacing the plug.

Hello
I do not know how it was done, but I also have this 5-E error; /
Maybe someone send a link with the right buttstock because I could not find anything on the Allegro.
There is only the heater itself, but a ceramic one, and I have a metal one.
