Abstract
A circuit board is aligned with the housing so that a mounting pin may be inserted through a circuit board mounting hole into a housing mounting bore. The pin is heated when inserted into the bore so that solder at the bottom tip is in a melted state. After the pin is in the bore, the solder fuses and secures the pin in the bore. Accordingly, the pin head secures the electrical circuit board to the housing.
