<p>A method and apparatus are described for precisely centering the leads of surface mountable electronic components on the pads of a printed circuit board. The method includes coating the pads with solder, placing the leads of the components on the solder coated pads, melting the solder and vibrating the leads relative to the pads while the solder is molten, so that the surface tension of the molten solder centers the leads on the pads. The molten solder is then cooled until it resolidifies.</p> |
