Abstract
A heat generating element, such as an electrical resistor, is located interiorally of a T/R module such as by being located on an inner surface of a heat sink member and on which a thermstrate member is attached. The heat generating member is connected to a pair of electrical contacts located on an outside surface of the T/R module, which when connected to an external source of DC potential generates sufficient heat to reflow the thermstrate when locked in place on the coldplate.
