Abstract

Un procédé de chauffage instantané a pour caractéristique de rendre les composants périphériques sensibles à la chaleur sur une carte de circuit imprimé ou à l'intérieur d'un emballage difficiles à chauffer par chauffage local uniquement de surfaces de connexion soudée ; cependant, l'optimisation d'une configuration de motif d'électrode est requise d'un point de vue différent des cas de fixation par brasage tendre à la main, et les conditions requises ainsi que les règles de conception n'ont pas été suffisamment étudiées pour des configurations spécifiques de motifs d'électrode et pour des états de brasage sur des surfaces à l'opposé de la surface de connexion soudée avec la technologie classique. Grâce à la présente invention, une brasure est appliquée à l'avance par sérigraphie ou similaire sur les électrodes de manière à ce que le brasage préliminaire se fasse uniformément sur les deux surfaces des électrodes de connexion, y compris la carte de câblage imprimé souple à travers les trous à l'intérieur de la région, ce qui permet d'obtenir d'excellentes connexions soudées. En outre, les connexions soudées sont faites sur la surface opposée à la surface de connexion pour les électrodes de connexion sur la carte de câblage imprimé souple en appliquant une pression et des procédés d'augmentation de température à l'aide d'une barre chaude ou similaire sur la carte de câblage imprimé souple dans un état où le brasage préliminaire a été rendu uniforme.
