Abstract
A soldering device includes an elongated hot bar and a plurality of spaced soldering tips supported along the hot bar for soldering multiple connections. A method of using the soldering device is also described.
Claims13
In combination:
- a series of spaced solder pads having perimeter edges;
- an elongated hot bar formed of a relatively resistive material and having opposed terminals coupleable to a power source;
- and
- a plurality of spaced soldering tips along the hot bar including raised soldering surfaces enclosed by elevated perimeter edges spaced from the hot bar and the elevated perimeter edges of the soldering surfaces being sized smaller than perimeter edges of the solder pads to form a solder connection having a solder rim about a perimeter of the solder connection.
