Abstract

A soldering process is suitable for use with low cost, low heat distortion temperature thermoplastic substrates without distortion or damage to the substrate yet having the mass production capability exhibited by wave and reflow soldering techniques. The process allows integration of consumer products and, in particular, vehicle components such as integrated instrument panel or other such assemblies, without the redundancy of separate printed circuit boards.
