Abstract:
A method of mounting an electronic component by connecting leads of an electronic component and electrodes of a printed circuit board comprising the steps of:supplying the printed circuit board with an anisotropic conductive adhesive which comprises a resin-based binder mixed with filler and fiber which shrinks by heating, wherein shrinking of the fiber by heating causes the resin-based binder to shrink and cure so as to electrically and mechanically connect the leads and the electrodes;mounting the electronic component on the printed circuit board via the anisotropic conductive adhesive; andelectrically and mechanically connecting the leads of the electronic component to the electrodes of the printed circuit board solely by heating the anisotropic conductive adhesive, wherein the connecting is directly subsequent to the mounting of the electronic component on the printed circuit board.
