Original Abstract Submitted

board assembly processes are disclosed that may be implemented using multiple different electrically conductive solder types to assemble or attach different electronic components to a printed circuit board (pcb). for example, multiple different electronic components may be attached to a common pcb using a multiple-step assembly process that may be performed at different solder reflow temperatures and/or which may incorporate multiple different solder types having different respective minimum reflow temperatures (i.e., melting point temperatures). the disclosed processes may be implementing using a variety of different forms of solder, such as solder paste form, wire solder form, ingot solder form, etc.
