Miniware TS101 Smart Soldering Iron

The TS101 Smart Soldering Iron is the next generation of soldering iron from Miniware, the same folks who brought us the popular TS100 and TS80P.

Once again packed with smart, innovative features both in terms of hardware and software, Miniware has set the new standard with the TS101!

Key Features

• DC or PD power input
  • DC 9-24V wide voltage input
  • PD 9-28V wide voltage input
• 50°-400° temperature control
• Boost mode
• Dynamic detection
• Wider display
• Firmware upgrades
• Multipurpose anti-slip cap
• Compatible with TS100 tips (comes with a B2 tip)

Multiple power options

As an immediate upgrade on the previous model, the TS101 offers two ways to power the unit – USB-C PD (Power Delivery, 9-28V) and DC barrel jack (9-24V), giving you flexibility depending on when and where you need to solder. Use a USB PD power bank when on the road, or the convenience of a static DC power supply when in the workshop.

Software settings and customisation

The interface and software, with the usual extensive menus of options and settings, are what we’ve come to know and love from Miniware irons – and the TS101 is no exception! The clear 128×32 OLED display and A/B buttons allow you to navigate settings and information, such as:

• Temperature
  • Set the temperature
  • Set/Use preset temperatures
  • Set the boost temperature
  • Sleep temperature and time
  • Idle temperature
  • Temperature units
• Screen brightness
• Display direction
• Power source
• Minimum voltage
• Low current wake up
• PD power limit
• Sensitivity
• Calibration
• Reset/restore

Firmware customisation

• Connect the iron to your PC and (via the software available on the forum) upgrade and customise your TS101 software!

Quick interchangeable tips

The tips are once again interchangeable, this time achieved with the clever new anti-slip cap – quickly change tips on the fly without tools. A B2 tip comes with the iron.

The cap also acts as a minimal rest when the iron is not in use (although we’d recommend picking up a Miniware T-stand with sponge tip cleaner).

Tips available in the store:

• D24 Soldering Tip
• I Soldering Tip
• BC2 Soldering Tip
• B2 Soldering Tip
