I'm not sure I understand. Is that device used to dip the assembled PCB in a solder bath?

Or is it used to hold everything in place, then you flip and solder the bottom side?


I've been thinking about the heat applied to a lug like the one you're installing. I don't think the heat would transfer to an alignment tool that much, especially while soldering the first pin.

I'd solder them all only 1 pin, remove the tools, then solder the 2nd pins.
