Abstract:
A method for producing or disassembling an electronic assembly are provided. The assembly may have a heating device integrated into a substrate. The heating device can be heated via an external power supply during the assembly process so that, for example, solder connections of an electric component can be melted. The heating device can also be used when operating the electronic assembly, and the heating device can then be directly actuated by the component. For this purpose, an electric connection is then established between the component and the heating device, the connection not yet being provided during the thermal assembly process in order to protect the electronic components of the circuit from being damaged.

Abstract:
In a relay module device, a signal converting section transmits driving signals of switching elements when receiving input signals from an external device and sets a relationship between the input signals and the driving signals. The relationship includes a first mode in which the signal converting section transmits the driving signals to separately control one of the switching elements with respect to one of the input signals, and a second mode in which the signal converting section transmits the driving signals to concurrently control two or more of the switching elements with respect to one of the input signals.
