Abstract
A tabular holding jig has a plurality of holding holes whose side walls are made from an elastic material. When electronic parts are inserted into the holding holes of the holding jig, deflection of the holding jig is prevented by (a) disposing an intermediate plate between the holding jig and a base plate, or (b) using a base plate having a stepped portion with a raised surface that covers an area of the holding jig where the plurality of holding holes is formed.

A method for applying conductive paste using a tabular holding jig, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising a tabular holding jig having a plurality of holding holes extending from a first surface to an opposed second surface, the holding holes having side walls comprising an elastic material, and a plate having a flat surface disposed on the first surface of the holding jig, the flat surface of the plate covering the plurality of holding holes and having an outer peripheral edge which does not extend outward of the peripheral edge of the holding jig;
- inserting electronic parts into the holding holes through the first surface such that the holding jig holds the electronic parts;
- and
- contacting ends of the electronic parts protruding from the holding holes at the second surface into a conductive paste for electrode formation in order to apply the conductive paste to the ends of the electronic parts.
A device for applying conductive paste, comprising:
- a tabular holding jig having a plurality of holding holes extending from a first surface to an opposed second surface, the holding holes having side walls comprising an elastic material;
- a plate having a flat surface disposed on the first surface of the holding jig, the flat surface of the plate covering the plurality of holding holes and having an outer peripheral edge which does not extend outward of the peripheral edge of the holding jig;
- inserter disposed relative to the second surface of the holding jig and adapted to insert electronic parts into the holding holes such that the holding jig holds the electronic parts while the plurality of holding holes is in contact with the plate;
- and
- conductive paste receptacle for holding conductive paste into which the electronic parts held by the holding jig can be inserted.
