Abstract

A method for applying a solder to a substrate by positioning solder in a solid state, melting it and then impacting it against a substrate by the action of compressed gas. The method utilizes a holder having a capillary bore whose diameter, at the substrate end, has a contraction whose diameter (D2) is smaller than the diameter (D3) of the solder globule, an energy source connected to the capillary, and a compressed gas source connected to the capillary.
