Abstract: Ultra-small satellite droplets of molten metal, generated from capillary stream break-up, are selectively directed to predetermined locations on a substrate. The satellite droplets are produced at a high rate and are highly uniform because of the nature of capillary stream break-up. Applied harmonic disturbances are used to control and generate the satellite and parent droplets. The satellite droplets are electrostatically charged on a droplet-by-droplet basis and are then deflected by, e.g., an electric field to predetermined locations on a substrate. The substrate is moveable, attached to an x-y table, for facilitating the placement of satellite droplets on the substrate. The satellite droplets can be placed in individual locations on the substrate (e.g., for forming a ball grid array) or can be overlapped to form conductive traces. Because the satellite droplets have small diameters, these traces may have correspondingly small widths or pitches.

Abstract: A plate-like material is rounded in the form of a cylinder so as to form a main body of a commutator to which an end of a winding for an armature coil of an electric motor is electrically connected, and both ends of the plate-like material are opposed to each other so as to define a joint portion therebetween. When a molten soldering material is introduced into the joint portion and solidified therein, the joint point is closed by the soldering material, thereby making it possible to mold the main body of the commutator, which is shaped substantially in the form of a jointless cylinder. The commutator can be easily fabricated and the manufacturing cost thereof can also be reduced as compared with a case where the main body of the commutator is fabricated from a pipe-shaped material. Since the joint portion can reliably be closed, resin used to charge the inside of the main body of the commutator therewith at a subsequent step can be prevented from extruding toward the outside of the main body.

After the soldering operation is complete, the flux is removed with a flux remover. If the connector pads are new, a base solder is applied to the connector pads prior to placement of the integrated circuit on the printed circuit board.
