Comment on Burned out connector repair
How_do_I_computah@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhat is the resistance of your heating element and what is it supposed to be? If it is lower than it’s supposed to be that can cause it to draw more current than that connection is rated for.

Resistance is 52 ohms. Element says it’s a 260 W element on 115V, so it’s designed for 2.26 amps, which would be 51 ohms. Thats gotta be within spec.

I still would not do this but I will admit it’s possible that it’s just a bad/poorly designed connection causing this failure. If you had gotten to it before it had burned up maybe shimming between the tabs and the plastic would help tighten the connection. I do not have a good source for the electrical connectors that you need for this repair or a strategy for removing the trace to help with the solder.
I have used jlcpcb.com when building my own circuits with great results tho and they might have a connector that works for you or AliExpress.
