>Dear Technetters,
>        I have a double side surface mount board with an edge connector.
>The connector slides on the edge and has leads on both sides on the
>board at a pitch of 0.05".  There are about 30 leads on each side of the
>board.  We are planning to attach this as one of the final assembly
>processes but how.  Can we use a mini wave solder pot to create the
>solder joints or should we order a custom solder tip (0.05" x 1.68") so
>we can heat up all the leads on one side at one time and then feed in
>wire solder as needed?
>
>Any and all ideas would be appreciated.  If anyone knows of an automated
>or semi-automated 'hot bar' solder method, we are interested.
>
>Thanks in advance for your assistance.
