Abstract
A fixture with movable pawls and positioning walls is attached to a circuit board. An electronic component is inserted into the fixture from its upper side. Since the movable pawls move outward due to their slopes, the electronic component is allowed to fit between the positioning walls. After the fitting of the electronic component, the movable pawls hold the sides of the upper face of the electronic component and the positioning walls are in contact with the peripheral walls of the electronic component. Bumps provided on electrode pads of the electronic component are connected to electrodes on the circuit board. Thus, the electronic component can be mounted using the flip chip technique. In addition, the electronic component can be removed easily by moving the movable pawls even after being mounted.
