Abstract: A method of assembling a mechanical part on a support includes making a projecting thickening situated substantially over a connection face of an anchor block of the part; depositing a layer of one of the components of a eutectic on at least one fixing zone of the support; using a tool for holding the thickening to move the part so that its connection face co-operates with the fixing zone of the support; raising the temperature of the eutectic point of the eutectic; exerting localized force on the thickening; and simultaneously subjecting the part or the support to mechanical stresses. The invention is particularly applicable to assembling a capacitive sensor. The invention is also directed to a mechanical part for carrying out the assembly method, as well as a tool for grasping the mechanical part.
