Manufacturer description

The UY CHAN TS101 is a pen-sized smart soldering iron for bench repairs and field fixes. It improves on the TS100 by accepting two power inputs. The DC5525 barrel jack takes 9-24V and delivers up to 65W, so tips recover heat quickly on larger joints. The USB-C PD port runs from 12-24V PD adapters or power banks at up to 45W, so you can solder away from a wall outlet. You set the temperature on the built-in OLED screen, anywhere from 50°C to 400°C (122°F to 752°F). The new Boost function raises the heat for a short time when you hit a ground plane or a thick wire. Dual temperature sensors…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Original TS101 Soldering Iron Station Kit Upgraded from TS100 DC 65W… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the tools & maintenance category. UY CHAN's tools & maintenance lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for tools & maintenance: PC towers accumulate significant dust in 3–6 months, so cleaning frequency drives cordless vs. canned-air tradeoff decisions. Match the device's RPM or CFM rating to your case size, and confirm battery runtime covers a full tower cleaning before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I power the TS101 with a USB-C charger or power bank?

Yes, if it supports USB Power Delivery at 12-24V. Over USB-C PD the TS101 draws up to 45W. A 5V-only USB charger will not work. For the full 65W, use the DC5525 port with a 9-24V supply.

What temperature range does the TS101 support?

You can set it anywhere from 50°C to 400°C (122°F to 752°F) on the built-in OLED display. Boost mode raises the heat briefly when a joint needs extra energy.

How is the TS101 different from the TS100?

The TS101 adds a USB-C PD input (12-24V, up to 45W) alongside the DC5525 jack. It extends the DC range to 9-24V with up to 65W and adds the Boost heating function.

Does the TS101 turn off automatically when I put it down?

Yes. An acceleration sensor triggers automatic sleep mode when the iron sits still. It also has dual temperature sensors and an automatic overheat warning.

Which soldering tip comes with the TS101, and is there a warranty?

The kit includes a B2 solder tip and a USB Type-C cable. For compatible replacement tips and current warranty terms, check the product listing or contact UY CHAN.
