Abstract
A desolderer and heater assembly therefor wherein the heater assembly includes at least a heating element and a solder transfer means where the forward end of the solder transfer means is adapted to receive a desoldering tip and where the thermal characteristics of the rear end portion of the solder transfer means are such that the heater element raises the rear end portion of the solder transfer means to a solder melting temperature shortly after the tip reaches this temperature. The desolderer includes a solder collection chamber into which molten solder is ejected from the solder transfer means where the solder collection chamber may be disposed either inside or outside the desolderer handle. Various embodiments are described whereby the heater assembly may be adapted to receive a seal mounting member so that the forward end of the solder collection chamber can be sealed at a surface which is removed from the path the molten solder traverses through the solder transfer means.
