Methods and system which eliminate steps in the mounting a discrete device to an electronic circuit using a conductive film, shortening the time required to attach each discrete device. The methods place a discrete device onto the conductive tape and partially cure portions of the adhesive. The discrete device is then removed from the conductive tape along with the adhesive and conductive particles which have been transferred onto the contact pads of the discrete device. The discrete device is then placed on the substrate and aligned. Pressure and heat are applied to complete the bond.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a positioning structure and a flexible printed circuit. The positioning structure includes a flexible substrate having a positioning hole therein and a reinforcing layer disposed on the flexible substrate and located within a preset range around a periphery of the positioning hole to reinforce the positioning hole, and the reinforcing layer includes a first hole corresponding to the positioning hole. In the positioning structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the strength of the positioning hole is improved and an undesirable deformation phenomenon of the positioning hole under action of external forces is prevented, by disposing the positioning hole on the flexible substrate and laying the reinforcing layer in the preset range around the periphery of the positioning hole.

In a device for producing and/or processing a workpiece, in particular circuit boards, in a work station, in particular for printing a corresponding blank or for checking finished circuit boards, at least one mark is provided on the workpiece. In this arrangement, at least one reference, which can be brought into alignment with the mark, is provided in the work station.

An electronic component includes a main body and signal terminals projecting in a projection direction of a module control terminal, the signal terminals being arranged in an arrangement direction. Through-holes are formed in a control board, and the signal terminals are inserted into the through-holes. In a case, an opening that opens in the projection direction is formed, and ends of the signal terminals are positioned in the projection direction. At a position adjacent to a through-hole group including the through-holes in the arrangement direction, a communication space is formed which makes a first space, which is positioned at a side of electronic component in the projection direction, communicate with a second space opposite to the first space. When a length of the through-hole group is a, and a distance between the through-hole group and the communication space is b, a length of the communication space is longer than a+b.

An electronic component handler includes: a placing plate on which an electronic component can be placed; a camera which picks up an image of the placing plate; a light source of a laser beam which casts the laser beam on the placing plate; and a processor for determining whether the electronic component is placed on the placing plate or not and which controls working of the camera and the light source of the laser beam when the processor carries out determination. When determining whether the electronic component is placed on the placing plate or not, the processor causes the camera to pick up an image of the placing plate in a state where the light source of the laser beam is casting the laser beam on the placing plate, and determines whether the electronic component is placed or not, based on a boundary of luminance in the image.
