Hi Bud, That would and could be as simple as a resistor.. I'll see if I can do some testing this weekend to see what current heats the pins in 3 to 5 seconds. Then I=E/R Solve for the resistor. P=Isq xR Units are ohms, amps and volts. That would give you the wattage for the resistor. Let's say we want 2 amps at 12 volts. R=12/2=6ohms. Wattage would be P=2x2 x 6 = 24 watts.. I think that correct. Time of course is the other factor in how hot the little buggers get. Would be nice to heat them in a 3 to 5 seconds.
