An electronic component is mounted on a substrate such as a circuit board by means of a soldering process such as reflow soldering. The circuit board has a thermal via hole therethrough to provide a heat dissipation path from the top surface to the bottom surface of the circuit board, for dissipating heat from the electronic component. To prevent molten solder from penetrating through the via hole during the soldering process, the via hole is sealed prior to the soldering process. The via hole is sealed from the bottom surface of the substrate by carrying out a screen printing process including at least two printing passes to print a sealing material into the open hole of the thermal via.

With the present invention, a reflow soldering method is provided for soldering a nonvertically approaching lead, which is part of a nonvertically approaching device (e.g, an edge connector), to a corresponding soldering surface (e.g., a pad on a circuit card) that includes solder. The soldering surface and solder are heated in an oven to melt the solder. While the solder is liquids, the nonvertically approaching lead is mated with the soldering surface as it is inserted into the solder. The soldering surface, solder, and nonvertically approaching lead are then cooled, and the solder solidifies to conductively mount the nonvertically approaching lead to the soldering surface.

An electrical connector includes an elastomer layer or board and a plurality of fine lead wires embedded in the elastomer layer and extending rectilinearly therein at right angles to both the surfaces of the elastomer layer.

The electrical connector further includes two flexible printed circuit boards on both the sides, each including electric contacts to be connected to mating contacts, connection portions each formed with a through-hole passing therethrough, and conductors each electrically connecting the connection portion to the electric contact. When the flexible printed circuit boards and the fine lead wires are electrically connected by vapor reflow soldering, the flexible printed circuit boards and the elastomer layer having the fine lead wires embedded therein are clamped by restraining jigs to prevent from the flexible printed circuit boards from moving away from the elastomer layer. With this arrangement, reliable connection between the fine lead wires and the flexible printed circuit boards can be achieved without need to control the length of the fine lead wires without any risk of the flexible boards being deflected or warped during soldering even if circumferences of portions to be electrically connected are covered by the insulator.

A method and structure for a solder interconnection, using solder balls for making a low temperature chip attachment directly to any of the higher levels of packaging substrate is disclosed. After a solder ball has been formed using standard methods it is reflowed to give the solder ball a smooth surface. A layer of low melting point metal, such as, bismuth, indium or tin, preferably, pure tin, is deposited on the top of the solder balls. This structure results in localizing of the eutectic alloy, formed upon subsequent low temperature joining cycle, to the top of the high melting solder ball even after multiple low temperature reflow cycles. This method does not need tinning of the substrate to which the chip is to be joined, which makes this method economical. It has also been noticed that whenever temperature is raised slightly above the eutectic temperature, the structure always forms a liquid fillet around the joint with copper wires. This liquid fillet formation results in substantial thermal fatigue life improvement for reduced stress at interface; and secondly, provides an easy means to remove chip for the purpose of chip burn-in, replacement or field repairs.
