Abstract: Provided is a method for protecting a thermal sensitive component mounted on a board during a thermal process. The method includes: providing the board, providing a protection apparatus which is removable and made of a thermoelectric material to protect the thermal sensitive component during the thermal process, wherein the protection apparatus cools the thermal sensitive component during the thermal process in response to applying a voltage to the protection apparatus. Further provided is the protection apparatus for the thermal sensitive component mounted on the board during the thermal process.

Abstract: A method and machine for swaging steel cable connectors are provided. The swaging machine has an external and an internal trough. The connector having a circular cross-sectional shape is first swaged in the external trough into having an oval cross-sectional shape. The connector is then moved into the internal trough, where the connector is swaged and steel cable is fixedly clipped inside the connector. With this swaging machine, replacing molds is not required and a single mold is applicable to connectors of various sizes, so that both the production time and cost are reduced. In addition, the connector after swaging would have a smooth surface so that its outlook and safe usage are both enhanced.
