ABSTRACT:
A surface mount soldering/de-soldering tip holder includes a base having recesses or pockets formed therein that include at least one wall configured and sized to cooperate to a side surface of the tip. A cover plate having apertures formed therethrough is positioned on the base such that the apertures are aligned with the recesses in the base. Each aperture includes a convex portion for seating the shank of a soldering/de-soldering tip, while the portion of the cover plate adjacent to the convex portion extends over a portion of the respective recess to form a shelf. The shelf cooperates with the shoulder of a soldering/de-soldering tip once the tip is properly positioned in the recess. To remove a tip that is frictionally secured within a soldering iron adapter, the tip is inserted into one of the recesses formed in the base and positioned so that its shank is seated against the portion of the cover plate that forms the boundary for the convex portion of a respective aperture. As the soldering iron is twisted and pulled, at least one wall of the recess engages a side of the tip to prevent rotation thereof, while the shelf acts on the tip shoulder to retain the tip in the recess. To attach a tip to the adapter, the above procedure is basically reversed.
