This <em>means</em> that the power provided in the tip is 100% controlled by the supply voltage used (higher voltage PSU = higher performance).</p>

<p>Irons at their simplest are just a resistor (Ω) connected to your power source via a switch.</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li>When the switch is on, the power in the resistor is: $P(watts) = V(volts) \times\ I(current=amps)$</li>
|

<li>Current through the resistor is: $I(amps) = V(volts) ÷ Ω (resistance)$</li>

<li>When the switch is on, the power in the resistor is: <em><code>P(watts) = V(volts) \times\ I(current=amps)</code></em></li>

<li>Current through the resistor is: <em><code>I(amps) = V(volts) ÷ Ω (resistance)</code></em></li>

<li>Combining these gives some common equations for Power</li>

<p>The resistance of the tip is a fixed constant in ohms (Ω):
|

- 6.2 Ω Pine64 short tip
|

- 8.0 Ω TS100/Pinecil long tip
|

- 4.5 Ω TS80(P)</p>

<p>This means the power delivered to the soldering tip is proportional to the voltage squared.
|

Therefore the Pinecil and TS100 perform poorly when run off 12V power supplies and may issue a <code>Thermal Runaway</code> message (weak power supply).</p>
