  • Patent number: 6681980
    Abstract: A tip of a soldering iron is provided which separates any solder bridge, sucks up excess solder, and performs normal soldering operation. The tip has a cutter blade-like portion with its edge inclined. Grooves are formed on both side surfaces of the cutter blade-like portion. Solder guides extend along the grooves, and cylindrical through-holes penetrating the tip are formed at the ends of the grooves closer to an iron handle. When the cutter blade-like portion is applied to a solder bridge, solder is melted, and sucked up from the solder guides through the grooves by capillary action. Excess melted solder is collected to be stored by its surface tension.

  • Patent number: 6466440
    Abstract: In a circuit board cooling apparatus, inclined rectifier plates 25 are disposed on a plane rectifier plate 21 with an inclination of about 45°, and an air guide plate 26 is disposed toward a distal end of the inclined rectifier plate 25 such that a distal end 26b of the air guide plate 26 is in contact with a soldering face 2 of a circuit board 1. Cooling air from openings 15 is rectified and guided upward due to a plane rectifier plate 21 and the inclined rectifier plates 25, and the cooling air also flows through between the soldering face 2 of the circuit board 1 and the air guide plate 26 so as to be converged on a soldered portion 3 on the circuit board 1. As a result, the soldered portion 3 is pinpointedly cooled and a cooling rate is improved, thereby improving cooling capability. The cooling rate can be set to 50° C./sec or higher, and the use of Pb-free solder is promoted replacing Sn—Pb eutectic solder which has been conventionally employed, thereby enhancing environmental protection.
