Features:
- very compact - will fit into handle
- display show status, preset and tip temperature, power, supply voltage, drop, ...
- two buttons
- automatic standby
- sensing supply voltage and tip current
- precise regulation with PID (PSD controller with some modifications)
- supply voltage is from 5V to 18V (best is 10-13V)

Hi! I love this pen, I bought it a few years ago and it's done lots of great work. However, one of the switches became flaky. I am going to attempt replacing them. Is this the right part? there is a slight difference in part number from the schematic. https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/B3U-3000P/1534340
Thanks!
