Abstract
U-shaped heater (42) carries busses (22, 24) which are electrically connected to supply heating power. Heated tip (58) is secured to the front of the heater and is as wide as is necessary to at the same time reach all of the leads to be soldered. The heater and busses rock on a pivot provided by pin (18) close to the heated tip so that rocking causes little lateral dfisplacement. Rocking in the single plane is limited by the busses engaging on the back of body (12) and the thermocouple connector body engaging on the front of the body, both in sliding engagement. Spring (62) holds the movable parts on the pivot pin and centers the heater.
