  • Method for controlling the assembly of a printed circuit board by riveting
    Patent number: 10555431
    Abstract: A method for mounting a printed circuit board for an automotive vehicle on a carrier structure including at least one rivet. The printed circuit board includes at least one mounting aperture that is capable of accommodating the rivet and which defines an electrical conduction zone and at least one mark having a control end up to which the mark extends over the electrical conduction zone. The method includes a step of positioning the printed circuit board on the carrier structure such that the rivet extends through the mounting aperture, a step of riveting the rivet such that its head is at least partly flattened on the electrical conduction zone and a step of determining the conformity of riveting when the head of the rivet covers the control end of the mark.
