Patent ID: 8863375

Claim:
A method for connecting a plurality of elements of a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of providing the elements with mutually complementary contours with vertical side walls at the elements' peripheral regions for connecting the elements together, placing the elements in a spaced apart position such that the vertical side walls of the mutually complementary contours are face each other, and a distance is provided between the mutually complementary contours, and connecting the elements by bonding or gluing the mutually complementary contours, wherein the elements are secured to the carrier during the connecting step by applying a vacuum, by clamping, by elevations or pins projecting from the carrier entering complementary recesses of the elements; wherein surface of the carrier facing the elements to be supported is formed by, or coated with, an antiskid material wherein a thermally or chemically or UV or IR curable adhesive is used for bonding or gluing; and wherein the adhesive is only introduced or arranged over a portion, not the entirety, of the vertical side walls of the mutually complementary contours to be connected.
