Method of printing a spot pattern in a printed circuit board

摘要

A method of applying a paste through a hole in a printed circuit board. A mask is provided with a hole with an upper larger cross-section portion and a lower smaller cross-section portion, the junction between the portions forming a ring-shaped land. The lower hole portion has a cross-section larger than the cross-section of the hole in the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is positioned adjacent the mask with the hole therein aligned with the hole in the mask, and paste is applied to the hole in the mask from the upper hole portion. This paste is pressed through the hole in the mask and fills the hole in the circuit board with paste and coats the surface of the circuit board which is toward the mask and/or the surface which is away from the mask in the area around and close to the hole with the paste.
