Patent number: 11116071Abstract: In a printed circuit board (1), thermal vias (19) are formed between the lower surface (A) and an upper surface (B) of the substrate plate (10) of the printed circuit board through the steps of: applying a respective solder resist mask (21, 31) to the lower surface (A) and the upper surface (B); applying solder to the lower surface (A) and reflow soldering the solder, wherein the solder penetrates into the boreholes (20) and forms convex menisci (26) protruding beyond the edge (22) of the respective boreholes on the lower surface (A); and creating regions (35) on the upper surface (B), which are freed from solder resist material, and which are intended for contacting at least one electronic component (17) on the upper surface and each of which comprise at least one of the thermal vias. Subsequently, the upper surface (B) can be provided with electrical components (17) on these regions (35).Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: ZKW Group GmbHInventor: Erik Edlinger
