Abstract
Abstract A circuit board is provided with blind connection vias which are filled with solder. The end portions of the pins of an electronic component are inserted into the connection vias, and are connected to the connection vias by solder. The electronic component is surface mounted on the circuit board with the major portions of the pins exposed.
