Abstract
An apparatus for simultaneously wetting a plurality of electrical contact areas with a liquid includes a punch with nubs or studs made of an elastomer. The number, configuration and dimensions of the nubs are adapted to the contact areas to be wetted. A process for simultaneously wetting a plurality of electrical contact areas with a liquid includes wetting the nubs with the liquid, leading the punch over the contact areas in such a way that the nubs are each disposed over one of the contact areas, and subsequently transferring the liquid from the nubs onto the contact areas.
Claims5
A process for simultaneously wetting a plurality of contact areas with a liquid, which comprises:
- inserting a perforated stencil into a receptacle for a component having contact areas, the stencil having the same outer dimensions as the component and having perforations with a configuration corresponding to a configuration of the contact areas on the component;
- inserting a punch with elastomer nubs into the perforations of the stencil;
- placing a mount to be moved in a defined way relative to the receptacle, onto a side of the punch facing away from the nubs and mechanically bonding the mount to the punch;
- removing the mount with the punch from the stencil and removing the stencil from the receptacle;
- inserting the component into the receptacle;
- subsequently, wetting the elastomer nubs of the punch with a liquid;
- guiding the punch over the contact areas until each of the nubs is located over a respective one of the contact areas;
- and
- transferring the liquid from the nubs onto the contact areas.
