Einhell To XT60 (TS100) And USB Adapter Power X Change by datdiy

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is an adapter to power a device via 24V XT60 and/or USB from a Einhell Power X Change battery.
I created it to power my TS100 soldering iron and a fume extractor (aka fan) from the Einhell batteries. Of course you can power any USB device or 24V-35V-XT60-device from this.
For example i charged my phone with this adapter. :)
Print with support. My support settings in Slic3r which worked great:
Support on build plate only: yes
XY separation between an object and its support: 3.5mm

M3 screws (3* 5mm, 4* 8(or more)mm)
The links to aliexpress are of course just examples.
The spade crimp connectors and the USB jack get glued into position. I used hotglue.
I also attached a version without USB.
Edit 2018-08-21: I've attached v1.1 (untested). The only change is, that the place for the usb jack is now 15.6 mm long. Now standard Usb jacks should fit. E.g.: https://www.ebay.de/itm/15x-USB2-0-A-Buchse-Leiterplatte-loeten-Anschluss-Buchse-fuer-Computor-Silber-GY/263337791195
Edit 2018-11-13: Added Fusion 360 project files.
