  • Wave soldering system
    Patent number: 4208002
    Abstract: A mass wave soldering apparatus is described. The apparatus comprises a sump having upwardly diagonally extending front and rear walls, and a pair of vertical end walls which cooperate to form an upwardly extending open ended nozzle chamber of increasing plan area. A Z-shaped baffle screen is positioned within the nozzle chamber and distributes the molten solder pumped upwardly in the sump as a wide, smooth substantially unidirectional solder wave ideally contoured for high-speed production soldering.
