Abstract

A tool adapted to simultaneously heat a plurality of spaced electrical elements for soldering includes an elongated heat generating member connected between spaced, parallel, relatively massive and high conductivity rectangular cross section bars. An arcuate lower portion of the heat generating member disposed between the bars is adapted to contact the surface to be soldered. Electrical current applied to one end of one bar and to the opposite end of the other bar is directed uniformly through the heat generating member transverse to the elongated dimension thereof to provide a uniform temperature to all the spaced elements. Upon discontinuation of the electrical current the relatively massive bars are operative to rapidly remove heat from the heat generating member.
