Abstract: A metal shell and plate member welding method includes the steps of: A) preparing a shell and a plate member, B) applying a solder material to the plate member, C) attaching the shell to the solder material at the plate member to form a semi-finished product and then putting the semi-finished product in a fence of a bottom tool member, D) moving the bottom tool member to insert the semi-finished product and the fence into the space surrounded by an induction coil of an induction heater and then pressing a top tool member on the semi-finished product, E) operating the induction coil to heat the border edge of the shell to a temperature level about 20° C.˜100° C. over the melting point of the solder material, thereby melting the solder material, and F) cooling down the solder material to finish the welding procedure.

Abstract: A fastener for fastening a heat sink and a heat-generating element includes a bended flexible main body, an upper hook portion, and a lower hook portion. The heat sink includes a plurality of fins. The upper hook portion extends from an upper end of the main body for matching the fins and hooking the heat sink. The lower hook portion extends from a lower end of the main body for hooking the heat-generating element.

Abstract: A heating coil includes at least one winding having a plurality of approach portions. Each of the approach portions is close to a workpiece surrounded by the winding. The winding defines two electrodes at two ends thereof for electric connection with a high-frequency power source. Accordingly, the workpiece can be heated more equably than that of the prior art.

Abstract: A surface mount contact includes a conducting pin having a shank, a first end at one end of the shank and second end at the other end of the shank, a first annular flange extending around the periphery of the shank and spaced between the first end and the second end and a second annular flange extending around the periphery of the shank and spaced between the second end and the first annular flange, and a thermoplastic connection member joined to the second end of the conducting pin and spaced from the second annular flange at a predetermined distance so that there is a room for the user to judge the connection status and quality between the conducting pin and the thermoplastic connection member during surface mounting, assuring bonding stability.
