Abstract
An apparatus for holding an IC device for tinning the leads in a wave soldering machine is disclosed. The apparatus utilizes a pair of beveled surfaces, one on each side of the lead to be tinned, to limit the extent of penetration of the lead into the molten solder. The beveled surfaces are made of a material which cannot be wet by the molten solder, therefore, surface tension of the solder will tend to limit penetration of the molten solder into the area defined by the beveled surfaces.
