METHOD FOR SOLDERING ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR PINS ON A SUPPORT BY MEANS OF HOT GAS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for assembling electrical connector pins on a support (20) in the form of a card, comprising: introduction of the pins (31) into individual locations (22) on the first face (201) of the support, the pins forming at least one comb-like alignment (31A, 31B) on the second face (202), arrangement of the solder on the second face, around the pins and heating the comb by means of a hot gas flow to carry out the soldering. The method is characterised in that the gas flow is guided such as to pass at least in part between the pins (31) forming the comb (31A, 31B) from one side of the comb then, after crossing the comb, the flow is diverted away from the support. A nozzle with a guide channel and a deflector by means of at least which the flux is diverted is particularly used. The wall of the channel is arranged in line with the comb formed by the pins such as to reduce the part of the flux not used for the heating.
