Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic component with external connection elements and to a method of electrically connecting and/or fixing an electronic component to a printed-circuit board. For this purpose, the electronic component has capillary elements as external connection elements, which are connected to contact connection areas of a leadframe or to contact areas of a chip. The capillary element protrudes out of the electronic component and has, on its protruding end, a suction opening with capillary action.
