We study tachyon kinks with and without electromagnetic fields in the contextof boundary string field theory. For the case of pure tachyon only an array ofkink-antikink is obtained. In the presence of electromagnetic coupling, allpossible static codimension-one soliton solutions such as array ofkink-antikink, single topological BPS kink, bounce, half kink, as well asnonBPS topological kink are found, and their properties including theinterpretation as branes are analyzed in detail. Spectrum of the obtained kinkscoincides with that of Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective theory.Comment: LaTex, 29 pages, 17 Figure
