Abstract
This reflow soldering apparatus comprises a heater tip for soldering sites to be soldered of a workpiece W by reflow method, a power supply unit for supplying an electric power for heat generation or heating to the heater tip, a control unit for providing a control of the supplied current in the power supply unit, and a pressing unit for pressing the heater tip against the sites to be soldered of the workpiece W. An inverter of the power supply unit has four transistor switching elements. By the control unit by way of a driving circuit, the first set of switching elements and are simultaneously switching (ON/OFF) controlled at a predetermined inverter frequency (e.g., 10 kHz) in response to in-phase inverter control signals G and G , whereas the second set of switching elements are simultaneously switching controlled at the inverter frequency in response to in-phase inverter control signals G and G .
