ABSTRACT:
An electronic fabrication process and structure is provided for attaching discrete passive surface mount devices (SMD) to a substrate in a single step. A liquid noflow resin encapsulant containing flux material is dispensed between presoldered pads on a substrate. The SMD, having a pair of electrical contacts, is pressed into said encapsulant so that the electrical contacts make contact with said presoldered pads. Heat is applied to first activate said flux material and then reflow the solder on said presoldered pads to bond said SMD contacts to said presoldered pads. The reflow temperature is maintained for about 180 seconds during which time the resin solidifies. The resin encapsulant fills the space between substrate and SMD and forms fillets around the solder bonded contacts.
