Abstract

To provide a solder jet machine with which a molten solder wave with stable height can be obtained. A satisfactory and stable molten solder wave is obtained by forming wall portions surrounding solder ejecting ports, which are arranged in a first, a second and a third ejecting-port rows on a solder wave forming plate, in such a manner that they are allowed to project upwardly, in addition, by forming groove portions, which are for introducing the ejected solder in such a direction as to be allowed to flow down, around the above-described solder ejecting ports, so that the molten solder ejected from the solder ejecting ports in the third row and the second row can flow down rapidly between adjacent solder ejecting ports in the first row without disturbing any wave of the molten solder ejected from the first row.
