Abstract
An improved solder extractor has a tip temperature sensor coaxially disposed about the hollow tubular tip forward of the electric heat generating assembly into the which the tip is inserted and thermally insulated therefrom. The tip is held within the heat generating assembly by a plurality of springs formed as angular sections of a hollow cylinder which are symmetrically disposed about the tip between the tip and the heat generating element. The tip is also provided with a chamfered end which mates with a corresponding chamfer on a detent within the heat generating assembly to form a vacuum seal with a source of vacuum.
