Abstract

An apparatus for connecting a component with a substrate by means of diffusion soldering in a closed evacuated chamber is disclosed. The component and the substrate to be connected are displaceable separate from one another in the chamber, and the chamber comprises a combined transfer and pressing unit being displaceable between the current position of the component and the current position of the substrate, for placing and pressing the component on the substrate. The combined transfer and pressing unit comprises a rotatable element, which, in response to the placing and pressing of the component on the substrate, assumes an angle between the normal of the lower side of the component to be connected and the pressing direction of the component, the angle corresponding to the angle between the normal of the substrate surface area to be connected and the pressing direction of the component.
