1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to methods of manufacturing printed circuit boards and particularly to, a method of mounting electronic components on a printed circuit board.
2. Description of Related Art
In Surface Mount Technology (SMT), different components, such as chips, transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc., are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) to form an electronic system board. Specifically, corresponding components connect to the PCB with solder deposited thereon. The PCB is then placed in a reflow oven for welding the components on the PCB via the solder. For most electronic system boards, electronic components are mounted on both sides of the PCB. The PCB is placed in the reflow oven to mount the electronic components on one side of the PCB, the PCB is then removed from the reflow oven, and reinserted into the reflow oven again to mount the components on the other side of the PCB. Thus, two steps are needed to solder the electronic components on the PCB, which is time-consuming.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

In step S01, the PCB 10 is placed with the first side 11 facing upwards. A plurality of solder, which is sticky are applied on the bonding pads 18 of the first side 11.
In step S02, corresponding electronic components 15, which are light, are stuck on the solder of the bonding pads 18 of the first side 11.
In step S03, the PCB 10 is turned over with the first side 11 facing downwards and the second side 12 facing upwards. Because the solder on the first side 11 have certain stickiness, and the electronic components 15 stuck on the first side 11 are light, the electronic components 15 of the first side 11 do not fall off the first side 11. Then, a plurality of solder are applied on the bonding pads of the second side 12.
In step S04, corresponding electronic components 15, which are heavier than the electronic components stuck on the first side, are stuck on the solder of the second side 12.
In step S05, the PCB 10 is placed in a reflow oven. The electronic components 15 on the first side 11 and the second side 12 are welded on the PCB 10 simultaneously.
In the above embodiment, the electronic components 15 are welded on the first side 11 and the second side 12 in one step. The manufacturing procedure of the above embodiment is simple and timesaving in contrast to the conventional method.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
It is also to be understood that the above description and the claims drawn to a method may include some indication in reference to certain steps. However, the indication used is only to be viewed for identification purposes and not as a suggestion as to an order for the steps.
