TS100 Box with BOSCH 18V Power4All Adapter

thingiverse

I bought the super practical TS100 soldering iron and wanted to use it with the existing Bosch Power4All 18V batteries from the Green Series. I then built a box that can hold the soldering iron along with four more tips, a brass brush, the connection cable, two spindles of flux, a stand for removing heat, and two crocodile clips. Everything is there to use the soldering iron on the go. There are parts for the contact plates included. I applied them to a piece of 1mm thick steel and then cut them out with a Dremel. I sanded them until they fit around the cable boots. I also beveled and polished the side that connects to the battery. A car fuse from a KFZ box fits into the compartment, and I chose 5A. For the crocodile clips as a third hand, I twisted together three 1.5mm² copper wires (NYM-J) and soldered them onto the clip. I then isolated it with shrink tubing and adjusted its length to 115mm. Both fit into the front groove and are secured with an M4 socket screw. I wound flux around a drill bit and placed it in the two holes. You should use flexible cable for the connection between the battery and the TS100. 0.25-0.5mm² should be sufficient, allowing the cable to be very thin and making the soldering iron easier to handle. My cable is from the leftover box and is too stiff.
