Abstract
A method is described for producing an electrical connection between a plug element and a printed circuit board. A plug end of the at least one plug element is inserted in an opening extending through the printed circuit board. A solder, preferably in the form of solder paste, is applied essentially from above to at least parts of the opening or the area surrounding the opening. The connection between the board and the plug end is achieved by melting the solder. Prior to melting of the solder and/or application of the solder, the plug end is introduced into the opening in the printed circuit board essentially from below, and is held therein by a retaining arrangement such that during melting the solder enters the opening from above and contacts the plug end.
