  • Publication number: 20010008043
    Abstract: A method of making a circuit board (10) on which surface electronic components (15) are mounted during the method using a solder reflow process. The board comprises a circuit portion (12), a surrounding circumferential portion (13) and at least one elongated opening (14) formed in the surrounding circumferential portion substantially parallel to the direction that the board travels during the reflow direction (16), thereby preventing electronic component soldering failures that may occur as a result of the deflection of the circuit board during the reflow process.
