Soldering Ferrule and Module Assembly

To heat ferrule and module assemblies for a soldering application in the fiber optics industry.

Heating a Kovar Ferrule for Glass Soldering

The solder formed a relatively uniform domed seal around the fiber despite the asymmetry of the open C coil. It took under 10 seconds to heat the part to soldering temperature
