Abstract
The method and the arrangement for the connection of a multipole connector to a circuit board (1), specifies that the circuit board (1) is provided with a plurality of blind holes (3), equivalent in number to and matching the location of terminals (4) extending out of the connector housing (2). The blind holes (3) are filled with solder paste (5) and the mechanical and electrical connection of the connector (2) with the circuit board (1) is carried out by reflowing the solder paste. Compared with the conventional technique utilizing through-drilled connection holes, the invention provides the advantage that conductor paths can be routed underneath the blind holes, soldering paste cannot get on the underside of the circuit board, and a tolerance compensation of the lengths of the terminals is insured without subjecting the circuit board to preload forces exerted by the terminals.
