EPOXY WASHER FOR RETENTION OF INVERTED SMT COMPONENTS

摘要

A method to retain an assembled component on one side of a double-sided printed circuit board. In one embodiment, an adhesive body, in a solid state, is coupled with a component by disposing a coupling member extending from said component within a channel formed in said adhesive body such that the coupling member is engaged with at least one engaging member, said at least one engaging member each extending into said channel from an internal surface defining said channel. The component is then assembled onto a printed circuit board and adhered onto the printed circuit board via the adhesive body when the adhesive body is in semi-liquid state.
