An automatic soldering apparatus for soldering a printed circuit board having a plurality of electronic parts mounted thereon to be soldered while it is transported through a heating chamber having an inert gas fill therein is provided. The apparatus has a first station provided with a first opening for receiving the printed circuit board into the heating chamber and a second station provided with a second opening for removing the soldered printed circuit board from the heating chamber. Further, the apparatus has a supply of an inert gas and nozzles provided in the first and second stations. The inert gas is jetted through the nozzles toward the first and second openings, when required, so as to prevent outside air from flowing into the heating chamber.
