Holder for Tinning Microcircuit Leads

Heat-sinking tool holds microcircuits for lead tinning while protecting circuits from heat of tinning solder. Microcircuit holder dips leads in molten solder. Holder shields microcircuit from solder heat while leads immersed and absorbs heat conducted through leads. Thus keeps microcircuit relatively cool. Application tool was developed for requires tinning not closer than 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) from package body or its glass seals.
