  • Publication number: 20140158751
    Abstract: A wiring board on which an electronic component is to be mounted includes a resist having an opening exposing a joint face which is part of the surface of a wiring layer and to which a terminal of the electronic component is to be joined. In the placing step, the electronic component is placed on the wiring board such that the terminal covers the opening entirely and contacts the solder paste applied onto the joint face. Next, the solder paste applied onto the joint face is heated to melt solder and soften thermosetting resin. This allows the solder to gather in a first space within the opening closed with the wiring layer and the electronic component, while allowing the thermosetting resin to gather in a second space formed between a top side of the resist and a lateral side of the electronic component.

  • Patent number: 8673685
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic component mounting line on which a substrate undergoes solder paste printing, electronic component placements, and then reflow, while being moved from upstream to downstream. The line includes: a substrate feeding machine; a printing machine for applying solder paste to a first placement area of the substrate; a first electronic component placement machine for placing a first electronic component on the first placement area; a second electronic component placement machine for dispensing a thermosetting resin onto a reinforcement position on a peripheral edge portion of a second placement area of the substrate, and for placing on the area the second electronic component having solder bumps; and a reflow machine for bonding the electronic components to the substrate, by heating and cooling the resultant. The second electronic component is placed after the resin is dispensed, such that a peripheral edge portion thereof comes in contact with the resin.
