tolérance de la dimension principale
Explanation:
TOLERANCE OF MAINS DIMENSION

I do not believe that it refers to electrical subjects like „mains“ (raccordement au secteur) but to the “main dimension” as electricity is not targeted in the asker’s questions.

I would translate it by “tolérance de la dimension principale”correspondingly.

Procédé pour le soudage à ondes de circuits imprimés (C), surtout circuits portant des composants discrets (H), tels que puces par exemple, sur la surface desquels la soudure doit être réalisée, du type où les circuits imprimés (C) ont un mouvement relatif par rapport à un bac de soudage (1), où une conduite (2) avec une buse en forme de fente (3) forme une onde (S) d'alliage de soudure coulé allongée le long de sa dimension principale (Y-Y) et dirigée de manière oblique par rapport à la direction d'alimentation des susdits composants (H) à être soudés, caractérisé par le fait que ladite buse en forme de fente (3) est sujette à un mouvement orbital ou alternatif linéaire le long de sa dimension principale.

Process for wave soldering printed circuits (C), particularly circuits carrying discreet components (H), such as chips for example, on the surface on which the soldering is to be carried out, of the type in which the printed circuits (C) have a relative movement in relation to a soldering tank (1), in which a duct (2) with a slot-shaped nozzle (3) forms wave (S) of molten solder lengthened out along its main dimension (Y-Y) and pointed oblique in relation to the feed direction of said components (H) to be soldered, characterized in at said slot-shaped nozzle (3) is subjected to an orbital or a linearly reciprocating movement along its main dimension.

agree  Tony M: The use of the plural 'mains' seems curious, but I think your interpretation of its really being 'main dimensions' is logical
