Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component tinning technology, and in particular to a tinning device for through-hole connectors. Background Technology

[0002] To adapt to the increasing density, speed, and integration of products, connectors are increasingly adopting multi-row, fine-pitch connectors to achieve electrical connections between boards. To improve the connector's corrosion resistance, most connector pins are gold-plated for protection. However, after soldering, gold-plated pins form brittle gold-tin compounds. When the gold content in the compound reaches 3%, the solder joint will experience "gold embrittlement," affecting solder joint quality. For electronic products in aerospace and other military fields, to avoid "gold embrittlement" and subsequent solder joint quality degradation, it is stipulated that gold-plated components must undergo a de-goldening and tinning process before soldering.

[0003] The process of manually de-goldening and tinning multi-pin fine-pitch connectors with an electric soldering iron is difficult, inefficient, and makes it hard to ensure the consistency of pin tinning. Specialized equipment in the industry is expensive and takes up a lot of space, making it unsuitable for military enterprises with a wide variety of products and small batches. The most common method is to manually use tweezers, clips, and other tools to hold the connectors in a temperature-controlled solder pot for de-goldening and tinning. This method is inefficient, there is a risk that the connectors will fall into the solder pot, the tinning consistency is poor, the tinning height cannot be controlled, and it is difficult to ensure that the solder joints are completely de-goldened and tinned.

[0017] The tinning device for a through-hole connector disclosed in this application can control the size of multiple sets of limiting holes by adjusting the position of the adjusting device and operating synchronously, so as to meet the needs of connectors with various sizes and packages, and has high versatility.

[0018] The connector limiting hole designed in this application features a pair of L-shaped support platforms at the corners. The movement of the adjustment device ensures that the pair of L-shaped support platforms are always on the same plane, thus ensuring the consistency of the soldering height of the connector pins.
