Abstract

A tool adapted to simultaneously heat a plurality of spaced electrical elements for soldering includes a rigid low conductivity metallic strip connected between and holding first and second relatively massive high conductivity bars in spaced, parallel relation. The lower portion of the elongated metallic strip is shaped to extend from the bars and contact the elements to be soldered. Electrical current is applied between one end of the first bar and the opposite end of the second bar and is directed through a metallic strip transverse to the elongated dimension. Upon discontinuation of the electrical current, the relatively massive bars rapidly remove heat from the metallic strip.
