Patent ID: 10148054

Abstract:
A method is described for solderless electrical press-in contacting of conductive press-in pins in circuit boards, the method comprising the following steps: Providing a circuit board having at least one contacting opening for press-in contacting; providing at least one press-in component having at least one conductive press-in pin; providing a sonotrode for exerting a force and for applying ultrasonic energy. In order to electrically and mechanically contact press-in pins to a circuit board by means of ultrasonic press-in technology, it is provided that the press-in component together with its press-in pin, is fixated during a press-in step, in particular held firmly in place, and that a force and ultrasonic energy are directly applied to the circuit board by means of the sonotrode such that the circuit board is pressed at the location of its contacting opening onto the press-in pin, not directly acted upon by the sonotrode, of the press-in component.
