Weller IG-102

May 26, 2012 8 Replies

Hi Group



I got a Weller IG-102 Desoldering unit with the DS-22 iron on an auction but i think i made a bad buy, it looks like this unit needs a separate power unit :(



I have search all over the web, but i cant find any info about the IG-102. Is there anyone out there that can give me some info about this unit and maybe tell me what sort of power unit i need ??



Thanks


This is a kinda big file but I scanned it and somewhere in there is a power supply for all up to a certain wattage.

Amazing it is not from Weller dot com or somethng like that. But the file is good.

That seems to be about all there is though, is this thing like really old or something ?

Thanks Jeff

I have seen that file, but i cant see what to use with this IG-102. I dont know how old it is. Here is a pic of it:

There is a cable on the back that is markt 24V AC/ 2A and the plug on that cable has only 2 pins.

Got one of those too. This baby needs 24V AND air. It makes its own vacuum with compressed air.

Short: It needs hookup to BOTH a compressor AND 24V

I hooked mine up to a standard Weller 24V supply and an external vacuum pump.

Thanks Uffe

So i have to buy a compressor and a power supply, well thats not going to happen. I just have to try and sell it again and get my facts right before i buy anything next time :)

In conclusion- i should deliver vacuum to my IG-102? Or should i connect compressed air and it makes vacuum by itself?

Does a simple solder sucker not suffice?

If the OP already has a Weller desoldering station I can understand why he wants to use it. That stuff is top notch quality.

As for how to use the IG-102, I believe it internally converts positive pressure into negative one, therefore a simple air compressor should suffice. Corrections welcome if I'm wrong.

The catalog mentions a bunch of IG components, to be used with a flow of inert gas (up to 5L/minute).
