Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an electronic component comprising the steps of: forming through holes in a circuit board having mounting elements on a front surface of the circuit board; inserting tabs of a cover into the through holes; disposing a mask on a back surface of the circuit board, the mask having openings for supplying a fluid adhesive to the through holes by printing at positions corresponding to the through holes; supplying the adhesive to the through holes by placing the adhesive on the mask and moving the adhesive in a predetermined direction with a squeegee; and solidifying the adhesive to fix the cover to the circuit board; wherein the mask is provided with projections in the openings thereof, the projections projecting upstream in a moving direction in which the squeegee moves the adhesive, the through holes are partially covered with the mask, and the tabs of the cover are inserted into the through holes such that the width direction of the tabs extends along the moving direction in which the squeegee moves the adhesive.
