  • Patent number: 11936153
    Abstract: A precision soldering fixture provides a way to align and hold wires in place for soldering. The precision soldering fixture comprises a support member and a clamping assembly. The support member includes one or more elongated channels and may include a connector notch for holding and soldering wires. The clamping assembly comprises a nut and bolt base mechanism including clamping bars to hold the wires and preferably knurled fingers nuts, tightening the clamping bars, and thus the wires, in place. There can also be attachments secured to the support member to facilitate use. One such attachment may be a vise block fastened to the support member when securing the precision soldering fixture in a vise. Additionally, an alligator clip may be secured between the support member and the vise block, clipping the precision soldering fixture for soldering wires in situ. Further, a base with a magnet may be attached.

    Abstract: A precision soldering fixture provides a way to properly align and hold wires in place for soldering. The precision soldering fixture comprises a support member and a clamping assembly. The support member includes one or more elongated channels for wires of varying gauges. The support member may also include a connector notch for holding and soldering wires to electrical connectors. The clamping assembly further comprises a nut and bolt base mechanism that includes clamping bars to hold the wires in place and nuts, preferably knurled fingers nuts, which tighten the clamping bars in place which in turn clamp down on the wires holding the wires in place. There can also be attachments secured to the support member to facilitate use. One such attachment may be a vise block fastened to the support member when securing the precision soldering fixture in a vise.
