Apparatus for holding samples during solderability testing

摘要

A sample holder (22) is provided for use with a solderability testing machine (10) to releasably engage a sample 12) for immersion into a solder bath (26). The sample holder comprises a beam (28) provided at its upper end (30) with means (29) for engaging the solderability tester. A clamping mechanism (34) is carried by the beam (28) below its upper end for releasably holding the sample. The beam also carries a threaded, depth-controlling member (50) which may be threadedly adjusted to precisely control the depth of immersion of the sample held by the holder into the sample bath.
