Abstract:
A soldering method comprising:a. placing a solderable assembly on a substrate, the assembly comprising: i. an electrically conductive wire; ii a first solder ball fixed on said wire; iii. a second solder ball fixed on said wire, said second ball being distinct from said first ball; and iv. flux fixed on said wire, the flux separating said first and second solder balls, contacting both of said first and second solder balls and substantially filling a space between the first and second solder balls; said placing being such that an end of the electrically conductive wire protrudes through the substrate onto an opposite side from the first and second solder balls and the flux; and b. applying heat to the end to cause the first and second solder balls and the flux to melt on a single contact.
