  • Patent number: 6202917
    Abstract: An electronic assembly is fabricated by tinning a solder to the electrical bonding pads of a printed circuit board, and applying an adhesive, preferably a filled polyurethane adhesive, to the component that is to be bonded to the printed circuit board. The component is contacted to its bonding location on the printed circuit board, and the electrical contact on the component is contacted to the tinned bonding pads. The assembly is heated in a single solder temperature/time reflow cycle to simultaneously cure the adhesive and solder the electrical contacts to the bonding pads.
