Methods and apparatus to couple a device, such as, for example, a surface
mount device, with a substrate, such as, for example, a printed circuit,
are disclosed. An apparatus, according to one aspect, may include a
substrate, a plurality of terminals coupled with the substrate, a
conductive bonding material coupled with the plurality of terminals, an
electronic device coupled with the conductive bonding material, and a
holder that is coupled with the substrate to hold the electronic device.
A method, according to one aspect, may include coupling a holder with a
substrate such that terminals of the substrate are included in an opening
of the holder, mounting an electronic device over the terminals with a
conductive bonding material disposed therebetween, heating the conductive
bonding material to its melting point, and cooling the conductive bonding
material.
