Abstract

A solder application stamp embodied to transfer solder paste from a reservoir to a contact location of a circuit board. The solder stamp has a basic body having an end area and a protrusion, which protrudes out of the end area. The solder application to create solder paste dots of diameters as small as 10-300 μm.

Claims (20)

1. A solder application stamp embodied to transfer solder paste from a reservoir to a contact location of a circuit board, comprising:

a basic body having an end area; and

at least one protrusion, which protrudes out of said end area and has a protrusion area, wherein:

said at least one protrusion, in a longitudinal section has an at least sectionally concave contour between said end area and said protrusion area; and

whereby said solder application stamp is embodied to generate solder paste dots of a diameter of 10 μm to 300 μm.

2. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said protrusion area extends essentially parallel to said end area of said basic body.

3. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said protrusion area is so embodied that the ratio of said end area to said protrusion area corresponds at most to a factor of 10, preferably a factor of 7.5 and especially preferably a factor of 5.

4. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said protrusion area is so embodied that the ratio of said end area to said protrusion area corresponds at most to a factor of 35, preferably a factor of 21, and especially preferably a factor of 15.

5. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the maximum distance between said end area and said projected area and, thus, the height of the projection lies in the range of 50-250 μm, preferably in the range of 80-150 μm.

6. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the maximum distance between said end area and said projected area and, thus, the height of said projection lies in the range of 50-400 μm, preferably in the range of 180-220 μm, especially preferably in the range of 280-320 μm.

7. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said projected area has a diameter in the range of 300-180 μm, preferably in the range of 180-130 μm, especially preferably in the range of 130-50 μm.

8. The solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a hydrophobic coating, which is applied on said basic body at least in a region adjoining the protrusion.

9. The use of a solder application stamp as claimed in claim 1 , in an automated plant for repairing a circuit board, which has at least one defective component.
