An apparatus for resistance soldering a plurality of electric leads to a multiple-terminal block and generally comprises a complementary connector block and a probe. The probe and the complementary connector block are connected to a suitable source of electric power. The complementary connector block is the complement of the multiple-terminal block to which the leads are to be soldered. In other words, if the multiple-terminal block is a male block, the complementary connector block is a corresponding female block and vice versa. All of the terminals of the complementary connector block are commonly connected to one side of said source of electric power and the probe is connected to the other side. Hence, when the tip of the probe is brought into contact with any of the solder cups or connecting tabs of the multiple-terminal block, current flows through that cup and generates sufficient heat for resistance soldering to take place.
A device for joining electronic transmission wire to electronic connectors is described that is designed to assist in joining wire to both male and female connectors. Holes are fitted in the device to accept the male connectors and pins are fitting on the device to accept the female connectors. Since most electronic connectors are small in size and require precision work, this device allows the operator using either a soldering, brazing or welding method to use both hands and concentrate on the intricate details of joining wire to the small electronic connectors.
