I'm hacking an automotive relay into my desoldering station to circumvent the long wiring activating the vacuum pump. // Kindly sponsored by my favorite PCB manufacturer PCBWay! https://www.pcbway.com/

The tutorial I got this idea from (German forum):
https://circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/26421-Etwas-mehr-aus-einer-ZD-915-Entlötstation-rausholen/

I used a Hella brand 12V closing automotive relay and a 1N4007 diode for this mod.
