Abstract:
In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in a circuit-board attachment method. The method includes providing a circuit board that defines a channel in a surface of the circuit board, and placing a stencil over the surface of the circuit board so that a slot that is in the stencil and defined by the stencil aligns with the channel in the circuit board. The method includes applying solder to the stencil when the slot in the stencil is aligned with the channel in the circuit board to provide the solder into the slot in the stencil and the channel, and removing the stencil, leaving the solder in the channel and protruding from the channel. The method includes placing a component in contact with the solder that is protruding from the channel, and heating the solder to attach the component to the circuit board.

Claim (Index 4):
The circuit-board attachment method of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the channel is at least ten times greater than a width of the channel.
