Abstract:
Method for soldering additional electronic components onto a circuit board having previously soldered components, with a template having a pattern of openings corresponding to soldering points and regions which are to be soldered onto the circuit board, with a solder bath, and with means for guiding the template between a raised position above a surface of the solder bath and a lowered position pressing against the surface of the solder bath, the method comprising the steps of:a) plugging the additional components through the circuit board;b) lowering the template along the guiding means to press onto the surface of the solder bath, wherein solder rises into the openingsc) placing the circuit board having the previously soldered components, onto the template following step b), wherein the regions which are to be soldered are disposed within the openings in the template and dip into the solder; andd) lifting the circuit board and the template from the surface of the solder.
