Printed circuit board and terminal board with staggered conductive pads

摘要

A printed circuit board has a staggered array of mounting pads on a surface thereof for supporting a terminal board. A solder material is provided on the staggered array and then a terminal board having a corresponding array of pads is placed on the printed circuit board. The solder material is heated and then cooled, whereby the terminal board is fixed to the printed circuit board without causing an electric short between pads.
