Patent ID: 7726543

Claim:
A method for the production of a soldered joint, the method comprising the steps of: orienting contact partners of a bonding arrangement relative to each other in a position with a location for receiving material to form the solder joint; disposing a formed piece of solder material in an application device with a guide channel terminating at a mouth; arranging the mouth at a distance from the location for receiving material; at least partially melting the solder material; ejecting the at least partially piece of melted solder material from the mouth directed toward the location for receiving material with the mouth at said distance from the location for receiving material so the partially melted solder material strikes the location for receiving material resulting in wetting said contact partners with the solder material for forming an electrically conductive connection between said contact partners wherein said step of orienting includes positioning said contact partners to be oriented horizontally and substantially parallel to each other separated by a gap, and said step of ejecting including thrusting solder into said gap along a path substantially parallel to a plane of upper and lower contact partner surfaces of said gap, said upper and lower contact partner surfaces being arranged on different substrates.
