Abstract
Components, such as a plug connector are soldered in surface mounted technology on a printed circuit board. These components or devices have several parallel pin rows. For repairing the inner pin row or replacing the component, an opening is provided in the circuit board. Therefore the pins of the inner pin row can be reached with tools, particularly a soldering tool.
