Abstract
A thermode solder blade for soldering small components in industrial soldering equipment comprises a shaped body formed from an electrically-insulating and heat-conducting material having an electrically-conductive heating element formed thereon and spaced away from a solder contacting surface thereof. The electrically-conductive heating element has an electrical resistance greater than about 4 ohms and preferably greater than about 5 ohms.
