Note: Soldering Cellular Phone Antenna
Objective:
Soldering two brass tubes measuring 3/4 in and 1/4 in together for use as cellular phone antennas. The lengths of tubes range from four feet to twelve feet, and must be soldered along the axial side. The joint is to be made using 60/40 Tin Lead Solder and Kestor Rosin paste flux
End Product:
Cellular Phone Antenna
Equipment:
Ambrell 5, 5kW output solid state induction power supply including one (1) remote heat station containing two (2) capacitors, and a unique five (5) turn channel coil made from 3/16" copper tubing and measuring 1 1/4" by 12"
Materials:
Brass Tubes measuring 3/4 in and 1/4 in 60/40 Tin Lead Solder Kestor Rosin Flux
Temperature:
375 °F
Frequency:
85 kHz
Testing:
The following results were achieved:
- 375 °F was reached and the solder flowed after a heating period of 35 seconds.
- A production rate of 24" per minute was determined to be adequate.
- A quality solder fillet was observed after heating and cooling
