Abstract
A chip carrier mounting device which is hereinafter also referred to as an 'interconnection preform placement device' includes a retaining member having a predetermined pattern of apertures in which are positioned preforms of joint-forming material such as solder. The preform retains its general configuration after the interconnection or soldering process to form a resilient joint which is more capable of withstanding stress, strain and fatique. A method of forming resilient interconnections comprises placing the interconnection retaining member device between parallel patterns of electrically conductive elements, such as the conductive pads on an electronic component and a circuit board, and effecting the bonding of the conductive elements with the preforms. The joint-forming material may be a filled solder composition or a supported solder which substantially maintain their physical shape when the solder is molten, or a conductive elastomer.
