Review on UY CHAN Connector Soldering Repairing by Larry Morris

Great cable! Someone will say that at $15 it's a little pricey, but it's worth it. It's made of silicone and is buttery soft, making the TS100 much easier to maneuver than a standard cable. I tried to burn it with a soldering iron, no it doesn't even scratch. This is the cable that should come with the TS100! I cut off the XT60 connector and soldered in the USB PD trigger. Now I can connect the TS100 to any USB-C power bank/power bank! I applied 20.8V and it took 2.06A = 42.8W peak power. This is slightly higher than the standard TS100 PSU which is 19V*2.1A=39.9W. Tip: Switch the PD trigger to 20V BEFORE connecting it to the TS100. If you switch the PD trigger from 5V to 20V while the iron is plugged in, it will start at 12V but will not see the higher 20V voltage. Unfortunately I can't link the PD trigger, but google for " USB PD trigger"/"ZY12PDS"/"UPD005" Points for improvement: 1) The cable could be longer. I just used a longer Type-C cable on the power side, so it's not that bad. Be sure to use a good quality USB Type-C cable. 2) Wires can be thicker. This is 20AWG stranded wire, quite thin. I don't know how long they will last in the long run with 2A+ running through them with the iron on. Of course, it consumes only 2A during initial heating and only 5-15W during operation.
