Abstract: A sleeve soldering device has a displacement sensor and a heat flux sensor. The displacement sensor detects a physical quantity related to a pressure from a heated sleeve heated by a heater onto an electric board when the heated sleeve presses the electric board. The displacement sensor detects a physical quantity related to a deformation amount of the electric board due to thermal energy from the heater. The heat flux sensor detects a physical quantity related to a heat transfer amount from the heater to the electric board when the heated sleeve is pressed to the electric board. A control part compares each of detection values obtained from the displacement sensor and the heat flux sensor with a respective judgment reference so as to detect whether each detection value satisfies the respective reference.

Abstract: An electric component manufacturing device includes a preheater that contacts and preheats a transported work, a melting heater that is downstream of the preheater in a transport direction of the work and contacts and heats the work at a temperature which is higher than a temperature of the preheater and at which a solder melts, a cooler that is downstream of the melting heater in the transport direction and contacts and cools the work, and a transporter that supports and transports the work to sequentially contact the preheater, the melting heater, and the cooler in this order. The transporter performs intermittent transport in which the work is transported from the preheater to the melting heater without stopping to contact both the preheater and the melting heater at the same time, and then the work stops on the melting heater.

Abstract: A V1 semiconductor module has a coil terminal, which is directly connectable to a lead wire of a coil. As a result, the number of parts required to connect electronic parts is reduced. Further, since no printed circuit board is required, the coil terminal can be shaped in any size without being limited in correspondence to the thickness of a copper film of the substrate. The coil terminal and control terminals, which are connected to the printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling current supply to the coil, are provided on different wall surfaces of a resin part. Thus, the coil and the printed circuit board can be readily connected to the coil terminal and the control terminals, respectively, resulting in simplification of the device.
