SOLDERING TOOL FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS HAVING MULTIPLE SOLDERED JUNCTIONS

摘要

The soldering tool provides a working tip formed to contact the multiple pins of an integrated circuit. The working tip can be in the form of a channel to contact the outside of the pins for integrated circuits soldered in printed circuits boards. The working tip may also be a rectangular block partially chamfered for contacting the inside of an inverted integrated circuit for soldering or desoldering the integrated circuit from a printed circuit containing rows of pins. Biased clamping jaws are slidably fastened to the soldering tool for gripping the integrated circuit to bring the working bit into and out of contact with the plurality of solder junctions on the integrated circuit without releasing the clamping jaws.
