Abstract

There is disclosed a method of permanently joining conductive electrical components comprising placing portions of the two components in surface to surface contact and passing a rapidly rotating wheel across a surface of one of the portions opposed to the said surface in contact, whereby instantaneously a high energy level is created at the surfaces in contact and a bond is formed between them. Particular importance for the method is in the attachment of flexible conductors to the terminal pads of printed circuit boards. The method can also be used in resoldering components together, and in cable-jointing operations. The electrical components thus bonded together are novel products.
