Abstract
Abstract A method of mounting SMD components (6, 7, 8) and wire components (21, 22) on a printed circuit board (2), in which the wire components (21, 22) ae secured on the printed circuit board (2) by means of connection elements (13, 14). The SMD components (6, 7, 8) and the connection elements (13, 14) are secured by reflow soldering on the printed circuit board (2), while the wire components (21, 22) are connected by their connection wires (19, 20) to the connection elements (13, 14) by welding.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A printed circuit board with surface mounted device (SMD) components and wire components comprising a printed circuit board having printed conductors, SMD components secured to the printed circuit board conductors by reflow soldering, intermediary connection elements secured to the board for securing the wires of said components thereto, the connection elements being secured to the conductors on the printed circuit board by solder joints between the connection elements and the conductors and the connection wires of the wire components being welded to the connection elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A printed circuit board with surface mounted device (SMD) components and wire components comprising a printed circuit board having printed conductors, SMD components secured to the printed circuit board conductors by reflow soldering, intermediary connection elements secured to the board for securing the wires of said components thereto, the connection elements being secured to the conductors on the printed circuit board by solder joints between the connection elements and the conductors and the connection wires of the wire components being welded to the connection elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
116 words
A printed circuit board construction in which the board has printed conductors on at least one side thereof and to certain of said conductors adjacent to through holes, said construction comprising: at least one SMD component soldered to at least one of said conductors on said at least one side such that the solder joint is between the SMD component and said at least one conductor; a component lead connection element soldered to one of said adjacent conductors such that the solder joint is between said connection element and the corresponding conductor; and an electrical wire lead component positioned over one side of said board, said component having a wire lead thereof welded to said element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
116 words
A printed circuit board construction in which the board has printed conductors on at least one side thereof and to certain of said conductors adjacent to through holes, said construction comprising: at least one SMD component soldered to at least one of said conductors on said at least one side such that the solder joint is between the SMD component and said at least one conductor; a component lead connection element soldered to one of said adjacent conductors such that the solder joint is between said connection element and the corresponding conductor; and an electrical wire lead component positioned over one side of said board, said component having a wire lead thereof welded to said element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The construction of claim 2 wherein said element has a non-planar shape with an outer planar region soldered to a conductor and a non-planar central region welded to said component wire lead.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The construction of claim 3 wherein said element is positioned over one of said through holes.
