The SolderJaw SJ-1 adapts seamlessly to both through-hole and surface mount components, offering unparalleled versatility. Whether you are working on a solderable breadboard or a custom PCB, the SJ-1's innovative design ensures a secure hold without the hassle of bulky vises or flimsy helping hand devices.

The SJ-1 comes with a selection of specialized tips designed to handle various component shapes and sizes. Easily switch between tips optimized for holding IC packages, pin headers, resistors, and more by simply loosening a screw securing the tips in place.

Board Compatibility

The SJ-1 features adjustable jaws that accommodate board widths ranging from 0.5 to 3.6 inches (12 - 92 mm), making it ideal for a wide range of projects. Its clamp extends up to 1 inch (25 mm), effortlessly securing even the tallest components during soldering.

Built to Last

SolderJaw SJ-1 is constructed from lightweight and scratch resistant anodized 7075 aluminum. The ergonomic handle and smooth sliding mechanism are constructed from Nylon, ensuring durability and ease of use over countless projects. Teflon board clamps and tips provide heat resistance and protects delicate components from damage during soldering.

Project History

I have developed the SJ-1 from ideation to its current production ready version. I have spent many hours sketching the concepts and variations to narrow down on the simple and elegant solution it is today.

I have printed and manufactured different proof of concepts to bring some of my sketches to life and get an understanding of how interacting with them effects the products desired function. There have been several advancements in the design that have made the SJ-1 be efficient and easy to manufacture.
