  • Fixture for supporting a cable conductor during a soldering operation
    Patent number: 5375757
    Abstract: A cable soldering fixture which supports a cable conductor during soldering. A heat sink is supported at one end of a support frame for maintaining a cable being soldered parallel to the axis of a support frame. A tool elevator is supported by a guide plate so that it is movable along an axis parallel to the support frame and coincident to the axis of the cable. The end of the tool elevator is connected to a solder tool which can be accurately positioned adjacent an end of the cable conductor. The tool elevator may either support a solder pot for tinning the exposed conductor or a connector chuck for maintaining a connector aligned with the cable conductor during a soldering operation.
