  • Publication number: 20230364697
    Abstract: A soldering iron head includes a bottom surface, a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and a positioning slot formed on the bottom surface and extending between the first side surface and the second side surface. The positioning slot is adapted to accommodate and position an exposed end conductor of a cable. The cross section of the positioning slot is trapezoidal in shape, absent a lower bottom. An upper bottom facing side of the trapezoidal cross section of the positioning slot gradually increases in width from the first side surface to the second side surface.
