Soldering iron help

[RTX 3090]

I have this station :

 

Using these diagrams, can I solder a 5 pin iron to 4 pin connector

In theory yes, but you should double check that the heater element's voltage is the right one. It could be one is 24v AC and the other is 110v/230v AC

My iron says 24V on it

 

Will the thermocouple be the same or do the use a different thermo couple

[mariushm]

Yes, they should be the same thermocouple type... the cheapest that can handle more than 200c, some k type usually.

There may be a few degrees celsius difference between temperature sensors, but the soldering station will have a potentiometer/trimmer to calibrate.

Don't mind small inaccuracies, just don't want it to spit out an error
