Abstract
A printed circuit board is provided with at least one component having one or more leads which are secured to contact faces of the printed circuit board. The leads of the component are secured to the printed circuit board via wire clamps soldered onto the surface of the contact faces. The formation of through-holes in the printed circuit board is rendered superfluous by the wire clamps. For the leaded components use can be made of resistors and capacitors, but also of a single electroconductive wire. Also described is a method of manufacturing the invented printed circuit board.
